Awesome Otters!
These little Otters are soooo cute!! I am quite partial to any furry critters 😁
This is a stamp set that you can earn for FREE during Sale-A-Bration 2022. Check out the SAB Catalogue on the right hand side of my Blog "Web Version". The Designer Series Paper, "Simply Marbleous", is also a FREE SAB item! I thought it looked like gentle waves, a perfect background for a Sea Otter.
I used two different colour layouts. One is Balmy Blue Card Stock and Soft Sea Foam C/S and the other is Coastal Cabana C/S and Pool Party C/S.
I started with a card base, 4 1/4" x 11" and scored at 5 1/2".
Cut a piece of Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper to 4" x 5 1/4". Attach to the card base, adding glue around the edges only.
Attach the coordinating coloured card stock, cut to 5 1/4" x 4", to the inside of the card.
Using the Layering Circles Dies, cut out a circle from the card front on the right hand side. If you haven't added glue all over the DSP you will get a circle of C/S and DSP that you can re-use. My circle opening is approx. 2 1/2".
Die cut a Basic White C/S circle that is smaller than the opening, mine is approx. 2".
Stamp the Otter using Memento Black Ink onto the Basic White C/S circle. Colour using Stampin' Blends. I used Basic Black on his nose, Ivory on the body, Bronze on his chest and Light and Dark Balmy Blue on the water. I splattered on some Wink Of Stella as well for some sparkle!
Attach this circle to the inside of the card so it shows through the circle opening. I used Dimensionals to attach it.
Stamp the inside sentiment using Memento Black Ink.
Using a strip of Basic White C/S and Memento Black Ink, stamp "It's Birthday Time!" Flag cut one end. Attach to the card front using Dimensionals. Add an Opal Round Embellishment and a Fan Bakers Twine bow to finish it off.
I hope you find todays card fun!
Happy Stamping and Creating!
