Good Morning everyone
As my regular followers will know last year one of my most used paper pads was a water themed one from the works, so i have lots of little snippets and scraps of paper left over which i decided to cut into lots of circles of various sizes and to use them as bubbles for a background to the lovely pink ink turtle and octopus stamps.
A5 white linen card. I first die cut lots of circles and edged them with blue distress ink. I cut a piece of white linen card slightly smaller than my base and splashed on distress oxide inks in shades of blue & then got arranging the circles and stamped the sentiment.
I stamped the turtle and coloured with distress oxide inks, using colours that would stand out against all the blue and then cut the image out, gently curved and added to the base with glue gel. To finish i used some really old glitter dots that picked up the colours i used in the turtle.
Version 2 made the same way but using this lovely pink ink octopus stamp and yellow enamel dots.
Items Used:
Pink Ink stamps ' pinky inky' 'sea turtle'
Circle dies
12x12 paper pad from the works 'fresh feeling'
