Summer Cards Part 2!

Here are the second set of cards I made in that snowstorm yesterday !

Step 1 : Card base

• Cut a piece of Elizabeth Craft Designs White Soft Finish Cardstock to 11” x 5 1/2” and fold in half to make a 5 1/2” square card.
• Cut a dark blue cardstock to 5 1/4'' square.
• Cut a patterned cardstock (here is tone on tone dots pattern) to 5" square.
• Using Elizabeth Craft Designs Stitched Circles #1116 die set, cut a red circle with the 2rd biggest die.
• Using the same die, die cut the 3rd biggest die in a mixed media background (see tutorial with Infusion Stains and Gesso "Backgrounds are going wild" Feb 28th)
• Put some Double Sided Adhesive Tape on the back of each layer and adhere one on top of the other.

Step 2 : Whale

• On the back of some red cardstock and some Elizabeth Craft Designs White Soft Finish Cardstock , put a piece of Clear Double Sided Adhesive also from Elizabeth Craft Designs.
• Die cut all the pieces of the die set Whale #1747 also from The Under The Sea collection - Elizabeth Craft Designs using the cardstock previously doubled with adhesive.
• Tap the belly of the whale into some Clear Versamark and sprinkle some Seth Apter Blizzard Baked Texture Embossing Powder. Use a heat tool to melt the powder.
• On the back of the whale, with a make-up sponge, use some Prima Art Alchemy Old Denim Metallic Wax to shade the cardstock.
• Adhere all the pieces on the card base as shown in the picture below.

For a final touch, I added a googly eye on the whale. As for the previous cards, I choose to die cut everything twice so I can make 2 cards.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and come back later for more !
