Designer's Choice Cards with Marine and Marieke

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm back with a rainbow shaker card featuring some cute and colorful jellyfish from Fintastic Friends. I first started by stamping six jellyfish using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, and I went all rainbow to color those adorable sea critters.

I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches bristol panel, and to match the jellyfish, I picked some oxide inks to create an underwater rainbow background. From the top to the bottom I applied: kitsch flamingo, squeezed lemonade, cracked pistachio, peacock feathers and wilted violet. I added a little bit of texture but not too much: water splatters and white ink splatters.

Next I created the shaker. I cut the frame and two borders out of white cardstock using the Tropical Trees Backdrop die set, and first attached the frame on a piece of acetate. At the back of that frame, I added two layers of foam strips, poured a bunch of clear jewels inside the window, and then attached my rainbow panel to the foam strips to close and complete the shaker panel.

On the front of the card, I attached a border on each side, these are like vertical rocks and the jellyfish will swim between those two walls. I also embossed my sentiment from Best Fishes in white in two parts: "It's your birthday" & "Make a splash" on black cardstock. And I trimmed those two phrases into two slim banners that I attached on my panel, along with the rainbow jellyfish, using foam squares.

As always I finished my card with some white highlights on the images, and I added a few clear droplets here and there on each side to totally complete my card.

And that's it! So stinkin 'cute, I love those fun rainbow jellyfish. As always, I leave you with the process video (click on the image above) so feel welcome to check it out if you need more details about that card. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next Thursday!

Hello Sunny Studio friends, Marieke here. Today I hope to inspire you with a fun underwater birthday card using a few different stamps together. 

First off I made the background using Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Broken China and Chipped Sapphire Distress ink. Splattered some water and inked up some rays using Salty Ocean and a stencil.

Stamped all the images from the Fintastic Friends, Tropical Scenes and the Purrfect Birthday stamps. Colored them up using my Copic markers and cut them using the matching dies. Stamped and cut the shark using the mirror image technique and cut the cake.

Used Copic Colors:
Sand - E55, E53, E51, E50
Light Green - G07, G05, G03
Dark Green - YG67, YG63, YG03
Yellow - Y17, Y15, Y13, Y11
Pink - RV17, RV14, RV13, RV11
Orange - YR07, YR04, YR02
Stones - C5, C3, C1, C00
Blue - B26, B24, B23, B21
Purple - BV17, BV04, BV13, BV02
Shark - C8, C6, C4, C2 / W5, W3, W1, W00, 0 / R24, R22, R20
Cake - E44, E43, E42, E41
White - C5, C3, C1, 0
Air Bubble - B24, B23, B21, B000

Decided where I wanted the large air bubble to be and drew it using my Copic markers and white gel pen, added a few smaller ones above the large one. Heat set the sentiments from the Fintastic Friends and Heartfelt Wishes stamps on the card. Added all the images onto the card and finished it off using some glossy accent on all the air bubbles.
