Instructions: My card is 6 X 6". To see the inside pages check out this link. Cover the card base with the paper collection and use the coordinating circle dies to cut center holes in the designer paper. Die cut scalloped circle and smaller circle on coral designer paper to create a fun circle frame.
Using Rich Cocoa ink stamp the flowers and leaves, die cut with coordinating dies. Color using Morocco and Cantaloupe, New Sprout and Bamboo Leaves for the leaves. Shape using the deluxe flower shaping kit. Add the flower soft and set aside.
Next using Tuxedo Black ink stamp the turtles, sea horses, and fish. Die cut with coordinating dies and color them using various Memento and Archival inks, set aside. This is also a good time to add any glitter that you want.
Find the Jelly Fish on the paper collection and die cut. The die fits perfectly so if you are not a stamper you can use the images on the paper. I also cut one of the fish as well. Choose sentiment and diecut using Luggage and Tags die.
Now you are ready to decorate. Decide where you want the elements to go and adhere them and the card is finished. This is a very easy card for the end result to be so wonderful. I hope you try this as it has a huge WOW factor.
