Hello friends!
I am so excited for Avery Elle's Summer 2020 Release! There's a fun blog hop full of inspiration and a giveaway too!
I am sharing a couple of cards featuring the new Peek-A-Boo Boat stamp set. I LOVE a Peek-A-Boo set and I wanted to give these nautical pals some space to catch waves, so I created a slimline card which gave me space for the speed boat to pull the inner tube.
I trimmed a panel of water color card stock to 3 5/8 x 8 1/2. I used Distress Ink to blend a sky and water background. I stamped, colored and die cut the images and adhered them to the card attaching the inner tube to the boat with a piece of cherry hemp twine.
I added some of the jumping fish and water droplets as a finishing touch and stamped the sentiment in the top right corner of the card.
For my next card, I tried a fun Z-fold technique which would reveal a surprise scene.
I stamped, colored and die cut the images and set them aside. To make the Z-fold card, I ink blended a 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 panel of watercolor card stock and scored it at 2 1/8 and 4 1/4. I folded along the score lines to make a Z-shape.
I positioned the hammerhead shark in the center of the top panel so that it would hide the whale in the inner tube. I trimmed the sentiment and stamped it on the top panel and added another sentiment to the inner tube. I connected the two vessels with twine.
I love how this sweet scene reveals itself with this fun interactive design.

Katie, these cards are oceans of fun! I really like that whale driving the speedboat & pulling the hammerhead shark in the floatie! HA that cracks me up and it is so sweet at the same time! Then you reversed it in that z card and that is super fun too! I like the splash of water coming out of the whale too; such fun little details! Great work! Cheers!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBoth the cards are amazing! Love the z fold card, never seen anything like that, truly awesome! Love the addition of interest using twines.
