Just Keep Swimming + YouTube Winner

Happy Tuesday!  Katie here today with a fun card for you.  Hopefully it will leave you feeling encouraged!

I don’t think you would believe me if I told you how much fun I had making this card.  Granted, fussy cutting out every single under the sea item (yes I did) was a lot of work, but totally worth it. 

To make this card:

• Started by cutting a white panel using the Scalloped Card Panels and Banners. 
• Next, I stamped the Just Keep Swimming Stamp on the panel using Versamark.  I embossed it with black embossing powder from Wow. 
• After, I used my Blending Buddy and distress inks to create the backdrop, combined with Scenes from The Sea stencils. 
• I stamped a whole series of ocean themed creatures and accents from various sets, including- Shark Bait, Ocean Reef Builder, Turtley Awesome and Mermaid Wishes. I colored them with my Copics and cut them out and placed them all over the scene. 

Take a close look, you might see some characters you recognize.   Spot any yet?  I’ll give you a few hints…  “Fish are friends, not food.”  OR “I shall call him Squishy and he shall be mine.”  There are at least 5 characters in there.  

Well I hope you enjoyed this card, and thank you for visiting.  But before you go…..
