Thank You From The Depths of My Heart

Are you looking for an underwater adventure? Then look no further! Pink & Main has everything you need to create your own coral reef complete with ocean critters and glittery air bubbles. The latest release also includes aquarium die sets as well as a bag die to transport your tropical fish home!
I always start my projects the same way - I arrange images on a piece of clear plastic the same size as my card base. This gives me the opportunity to get a preview of the card before I adhere all the pieces in place. I cut out the sea floor, coral seaweed and rocks with the Coral Reef dies set. A brush of Distress Ink along the border edges adds depth and dimension.
I like to cut images with at least two shades of the same color family to add shadows. A good example on this card would be the green seaweed, the red coral, and the rocks. The color variation defines the images.
I added a die cut shark from the Ocean Animals die set. A silly eye adds a little whimsy to the design. I think he'd look great on a wobbler too! Once I'm happy with the design it's easy to slip a background underneath to determine what color would be best. You can use patterned paper, a distress background or an alcohol ink panel like mine here. I used Staz On ink to add a sentiment to the inky panel.
If you're smiling I'll consider it mission accomplished ! I hope you enjoyed today's sweet escape to an under water paradise where sharks smile and air bubbles sparkle like glitter!

  1. What a great scene! My hubby and son spotted an eight foot shark while snorkeling on our vacation. By their description it was not as cute and jolly as this little fella!
