Fintastic Friends Cards with Marieke and Marine

Hello Sunny Studio friends, Marieke here. Today I hope to inspire you with an shaker card using the Fintastic Friends. 

As always I started with the background. I ink blended the colors Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Blue Sapphire and Villainous Potion. Splattered water and some Villainous Potion and die cut the heart out of it.

Heat set the sentiment out of the Sending Sunshine and die cut the word love out of white cardstock and glued it onto the die cut heart. Adhered a sheet of acetate behind the border. Added a layer of foam tape on to the basecard and filled up the shaker. Closed it using the border.

Used Copic Colors:
Purple - V06, V04, V01, V00
Red - R24, R22, R20
Green - G05, G02, G00
Yellow - Y17, Y15, Y13, Y11
White - W6, W4, W2, W00
Blueish purple - BV17, BV04, BV13, BV02
Sand - E55, E53, E51, E50
Envelop - E43, E41, E40

Stamped all the images out of Fintastic Friends, Snail Mail and Tropical Scenes stamps. Colored them up using my Copic markers and die cut them using the coordinating dies. I added some die cuts in the animals so I could fit in the envelopes.

Adhered all the images on the card using glue or foam tape and added some white gel pen details to the octopus to give him something extra to stand out.

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, super happy to be back with one last Christmas in July card. I had a lot of fun making this series, and I hope you appreciated it as well! Today we're going under the ocean to celebrate Christmas with some adorable Fintastic Friends critters.

I started off with the underwater background. I cut a 5,5 x 4,25" bristol panel, and worked on the bottom part first. I created a sand border using a hill stencil, along with antique linen and vintage photo oxide inks. And once the inking was done, I added texture on that sand border: white ink + water splatters, and vintage photo oxide ink + water splatters.

Next I covered the sand border using the hill stencil, and I created the ocean on the upper part of the panel using oxide inks again. From the sand border towards the top of the panel I applied chipped sapphire, blueprint sketch, peacock feathers and salvaged patina. I also added texture: water splatters, chipped sapphire oxide ink + water splatters, and white ink + water splatters.

I set the paper aside to dry, and worked on the images. I stamped them all using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them using the coordinating dies and colored everything using my alcohol markers with greys, pinks, aquas, blues and purples.

Fintastic Friends: sea critters
Ocean View: crab +reef
Penguin Pals: small fishes + hat
Christmas Critters: small hat
North Pole: nice list

After the coloring, I stamped my sentiment at the very top of the panel using clear embossing ink and silver embossing powder. I picked the words "Wishing you a" + "Christmas" from Santa Claus Lane, and "Fintastic" from Fintastic Friends to make the phrase "Wishing you a fintastic Christmas", and then I attached all the images on the panel using 1mm foam squares.

Finally I glued a few clear droplets here and there, and added highlights and details to the images using a white gel. And done! Super bright and so cute, I hope you like it. As always you will find more details in the process video so feel welcome to check it out (click on the image above)! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!
