Crafty Individuals Seahorse card

Evening Everyone!

Hope you all had a lovely long weekend.

I have a couple of sea themed cards to share with you all, starting with this gorgeous seahorse.

Start by stamping the Crafty Individuals seahorse stamp on white card with versamark black ink and emboss with clear ultra fine embossing powder.

Cut the image down to size.

Colour the seahorse, shells and star fish using your preferred medium - I used spectrum noir tri-blend pens.

Sprinkle a small amount of Pretty gets gritty atlas powder onto a paint palette and add a drop of water. Paint the mixture onto the background with a paintbrush.

Use a heat gun to dry the background.

 Take a pre-folded 5x7 card blank and place your seahorse in the centre (without sticking it in place). Carefully draw around it. This will be your guide for stamping the border.

Stamp and emboss the lovely Crafty Individuals Shells border along the pencil lines. When stamping the border along the length of the card - stamp it central so you're left with an even gap at either end. 

Use one of the separate starfish from the same stamp set to fill in the gaps in the border.

Colour the shells and starfish.

Mount the seahorse topper onto some black card and mount onto the main card base. 

Thank you for joining me.
