Today I have created this underwater odyssey using Layering Diorama dies and Sea Life dies. I love these dies! I can think of so many uses for them and today I am sharing just one of those ideas (be sure to check back on the 19th - I am participating in a blog hop and I will be using the Layering Diorama dies again!). I am fascinated with seahorses. So when I saw the Sea Life dies in the 2021 - 2022 annual catalogue I just had to buy them!
And look how awesome they pair up with the Layering Diorama dies!
I have used a couple of techniques on my card. Starting with the Alcohol technique. Here I am using Isopropyl with Stampin' Blends and have blown the ink across vellum. I die cut both the seahorse and the coral from the vellum. The seahorse was then adhered to a white layer and the coral was adhered to balmy blue cardstock. It amazes me how using a different color to layer behind this vellum technique changes the appearance!.
The second technique is using Blending brushes and different shades of blue to create the underwater. I then sponged white craft ink over top to lighten some of the blue and give the appearance of bubbles.
I think what really tops off this
card is the metallic mesh ribbon mixed in with the coral.
It totally looks like coral! So cool!
For the layers I have used dimensionals in between each to give the card lift.
And the final touch are the opal rounds.
I hope I have inspired you to give the alcohol technique a try. Every time I do this technique I get something totally different!
Happy stamping!
