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.

Crafty individuals seahorse card

 Hello from a very wet and windy Norfolk!

I'll be spending the next few weeks here in Norfolk, I do of course have my crafting essentials with me so will be able to continue making. 

I have several blog posts to edit but hopefully I'll have them all live very soon.

I had so much fun creating this card by stamping a collection of Crafty Individuals Stamps. 

Cut a piece of card to fit on a 5x7 card blank.

Sprinkle some Atlas Pretty gets gritty explosion powders onto your messy mat and spritz with water. Use the smooch technique to apply the ink to your card and dry with a heat gun.

Stamp the gorgeous crafty individuals seahorse  stamp in black and emboss with clear embossing powder.

Colour it in using a turquoise spectrum noir tri blend pen.

Use a white pen to lighten the eye.

Stamp the seahorse on a separate piece of card and cut it out to create a mask.

Place over your coloured seahorse, using a blending brush apply some violet ink around the edge of the seahorse to create a shadow effect.

(make sure you keep hold of the mask you created - you can use this on other projects)

Stamp and emboss the fish from the Dolphin stamp set.

Colour with spectrum noir tri blend pens. 

Stamp the lovely words from the seaside treasures elements stamps in black ink and emboss with clear embossing powder.

Use peacock feathers oxide ink to stamp the shells along the right hand side of the card.

Then randomly stamp some of the other shells and elements in peacock feathers. 

Stamp a few starfish in shaded lilac oxide ink.

Stamp the numbers '286' from the call of the sea elements set in shaded lilac.

Finally mount your card topper onto a pre-folded 5x7 card blank.

Most of the items used to create this card can be purchased from the Crafty Individuals website.
