A combination of projects submitted to SCS, this is a very cute and fast little card to whip up.
The whale here is coloured in with the Stampin' Write Markers. I've had quite a few people ask me how to acheive multi-coloured images – this is just one of many ways:
Stamping with Markers
1. Use the side of the brush tip end of your marker (using the point will fray your marker, making it less than a pleasure to use), colour in your image directly on the rubber.
2. Unless you are sitting in a wet sauna, it's good practice to huff on the stamp to rewet the ink. Stamp. Smile.
Now, how did we achieve the waves? Use the Scallop Square Punch! And guess what? The Scallop Square punch is on promotion for just 9 more days – get it now before the promotion is over!
My eldest daughter made up this card using the elephant instead of the whale and using Old Olive "grass" where I have bashful blue waves. It also turned out really cute. If she hasn't given it away, I will post it in the next few days. Remind me . . . 🙂
