Hey folks! Kavya
here! I am super excited to start playing with the new Summer release :) There
are so many awesome products and I cannot stop finding inspiration all around
me. Today’s card is based on one of my favorite themes - Oceans and it’s
gorgeous floral and fauna. There is so much opportunity for color here and there
is no right or wrong.
I first started off by creating my background using a pale blue colored cardstock. I ink blended using Blueprint, Mermaid Lagoon and Peacock Feathers distress oxide ink. I also added some sun rays entering the water from a side using a generic sun ray stencil. Then, I splattered some water and white paint to give the look of bubbles!
Later, I colored a bunch of images from the new Fintastic Friends and Ocean View stamp sets. From the older releases, I used the Magical Mermaid stamp (It’s retiring soon so grab it before it’s gone!). Adhered them to the background using foam and added a sentiment to finish off my card :)
That’s it folks! I hope you liked this project :) Check back tomorrow for more inspiration! Happy Crafting!

Hello there! It's Mendi here today, filling in for Isha, with a card showcasing the Fintastic Friends Stamps. I started my card by using a piece of patterned paper with waves from our Summer Splash Paper pack, trimming the top with our retired Sunny Border Dies. A similar look can be achieved by simply cutting along the top of the wave print with your scissors.
To set my scene I mixed in plants from both our Best Fishes Stamps and our new Fintastic Friends set with some of seashells and clouds from our new Ocean View Stamps. I tried to narrow my Copic marker choices to a limited color palette to have my seashells, jellyfish and octopus all compliment each other with a bit of a pearlescent look by blending pinks, lavenders and pale aqua blues.
For my punny greeting, I stamped my sentiment from the Fintastic Friends Stamps using VersaMark ink and heat embossed it with Hero Arts White Detail Embossing Powder. Lastly, I added some bubbles using our Clear Drops Mix, which I adhered to my card using Ranger Multi Matte Medium, to add a little shine and dimension to my otherwise flat card.
That wraps up our shares for the day. Thanks so much for joining us! I hope we've inspired you in your Summer cardmaking endeavors.
