Hello, hello! Welcome to a very special Summer Release Stampede! We are thrilled to bring you this splashin' release of 6 new stamp sets and 7 Creative Cuts dies!
For 2 days only, a brand new straight slider set with any purchase over $60 is yours!
For my card share today I've paired the awesome new Fish Tank Die Collection with the Favor Bag Add On Cat dies for this oversized completely die cut scene card! No stamps required (with the exception of the greeting) for this sweet scene!
The cat was die cut from Lawn Fawn Narwhal, Storm Cloud, Ballet Slippers, and Black Licorice cardstock using the Favor Bag Add On Cat dies. The die collection doesn't contain "paws" so I used a shape from the Favor Bag Add On Bear Die Collection to make the cat appear to be peeking up over the counter edge checking out the fish bowl!
The fish bowl images were die cut from Lawn Fawn Chili Pepper, Sunflower, and Moonstone cardstock using the new Fish Tank dies.
To make the fish bowl into a shaker, Stick It was applied to both sides of Fun Foam and die cut with the Fish Tank Dies. The larger of the two dies was used to die cut a piece of acetate and a piece of vellum. On the vellum, the Simon Says Stamp Waves Stencil was used with Broken China Distress Oxide Ink to give the look of water. The vellum was adhered to the backside of the Fun Foam fish tank piece. The coral and fish were adhered "inside" the fish bowl. The Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen was used on the fish and Glossy Accents was used on the coral. Once the Glossy Accents was dry, Honey Been Stamps Clear Bitty Beads were added to the shaker, then the acetate fish bowl shape was adhered, finishing with the cardstock die cut fish bowl.
The vellum is still see-through enough to see a peek of the cat behind the bowl but the stenciled waves and clear bitty beads give the illusion of "water".
The background for the scene was created by combining Broken China Distress Oxide Ink and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide Ink on Bristol Smooth Cardstock before being spritzed with water and then blotting the panel dry. The "counter" was trimmed from Lawn Fawn Blue Jay Cardstock. Greetings from the Sunday Sentiments Stamp Set were stamped with Lawn Fawn Yeti White Pigment Ink. Hearts were die cut from Chili Pepper Cardstock using the Confetti die and adhered to the card as shown.
Glossy Accents was applied to the cat's nose and the hearts. A white glaze pen was used to create highlights on the eyes.
