Betsy’s Seas The Day card

Hello everyone!  Betsy here today sharing an adorable card using the Little Swimmers stamp set and the Also Edgy Paper Set.  This is too cute and there are so many images to choose from.  Let me show you how I made my card.

This card had me going in circles!  This is the original composition that I printed.  I really didn’t like it…I’m not sure why, but it just wasn’t working for me.

Despite that, I colored the images anyway.  Then I decided I didn’t like the background so I fussy cut the little swimmers and die cut an oval that matched a different background panel.  I really didn’t like that either!

I left it for a bit and then I went back to the computer.  I decided to change the color of the background so it was bluer and do the faded soft edges.  I left the images of the swimmers there and decided to layer them with my colored version.

Finally I had a version I liked!  I had added a few fishes from the Under The Sea Stamp Set.  I printed it out and also did the sentiment in a color and size that went with the card.  I die cut the panel with an A2 size rectangle die.  I popped up my swimmers on foam tape.  I did the same with the sentiment after fussy cutting it out.  I added shimmer pen to the fishes.  Next I added stickles for water lines and once that was dry I added white Nuvo Drops.  I finished by adding a bit of white gel pen and I used Glossy Accents for water drops.

I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s tutorial.  Let me know if this indecision has ever affected you and your card making!

Til next time…
