Seaside Notions Has a Whale Of a Time!

Seaside Notions Has a Whale Of a Time! I always find there is one paper pack in any new Stampin’ Up! Catalogue that takes me surprise, for this catalogue it is Whale of a Time. I was absolutely convinced that it was going to be way too cute for me. How wrong was I? I love it, the only problem is that I don’t want to cut into it because some of the patterns work best in the full sheet. Maybe I will be making lots of 6 x 6″ cards. Who knows. Today’s card does use only part of a sheet, but for this pattern it means I can get 2 cards from one sheet, which is a bonus.

When I was making this card my Whale Done Bundle had not arrived. But I found that the Seaside Notions stamp set works well with the suite, so that is the one I grabbed. The paper I chose has lots of little Seahorses on it, so this was the perfect pairing.

I decided I wanted 2 Seahorses and that they were going to be looking at each other. Hmm, how was that going to happen when there is only one Seahorse Stamp? Simple! Use the mirror image stamping technique. I had also decided that I wanted the Seahorses to have Gold Embossing, so this was a bit more of a challenge. Was I going to regret this? I did wonder, but it actually works really well. As a tip, if you are going to be colouring an embossed image, you may want to use the ‘no line’ watercolour technique first. This is what I did, by stamping in second generation Calypso Coral, colouring and THEN heat embossing you don’t smudge the Heat Embossed image. There is something in Blends (probably the alcohol) that can smudge the embossing powder and make the colouring ‘muddy. To see how I did this, do watch the video.

To finish off the card I used the ‘bubble’ stamp on the sides of my card front and on the side of the liner. The ribbon is wrapped round the top of the Designer Series Paper and a second piece added to make a faux knot. The images are all fussy cut (you know I love to do that) and added with Dimensionals. A few of the Flowers For Every Season clear gems added with a spot of Multi-Purpose Liquid Adhesive, were the finishing touch.

 

I would love to know if you prefer the Balmy Blue or Pool Party version of this card. Could you let me know either in the comments below here, or in the comments of the YouTube video?
