Undersea Thanks

#stampinup   #faithfulinkspirations   #ThoughtfulThursday   Stampin' Up's "Sea of Textures" stamp set and coordinating Under the Sea Dies are among my favorite products. I like to cut a variety of undersea shapes in a variety of colors and pull together an undersea collage. You really can't go wrong with these products.  I also really like the sentiments in this set and today's card uses a sentiment that's perfect for Thoughtful Thursday.

I started with a 3-3/4" by 5" Very Vanilla Card Stock panel.  I stamped the netting image several times in Sahara Sand Ink to give the background some texture. I stamped the tall sea grass on the left side in Mint Macaron and Pretty Peacock inks. I adhered this to a 3-7/8" by 5-1/8" Rococo Rose Card Stock panel and then onto a Sahara Sand Card Stock card base.

Next, I cut a variety of undersea shapes from the Under the Sea Dies from Mint Macaron, Pretty Peacock, and Rococo Rose Card Stock. I also cut a net from Sahara Sand Card Stock. I adhered all these directly to the Very Vanilla panel.

I stamped the sentiment from the "Sea of Textures" set in Pretty Peacock Ink onto Mint Macaron Card Stock and cut it out with a Stitched Nestled Label Die. I adhered this to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals. 

For a finishing touch I added three Frosted Epoxy Droplets to mimic bubble rising from the seabed. I'm really pleased with how this card turned out--I love these subtle colors together, too!

And now a word from our sponsor. Stampin' Up has TWO amazing promotions going on right now. The first is July Bonus Days: for every $50 you spend before July 31 (before shipping and tax), you will earn a $5 Bonus Days coupon code that can be used August 1–31. How cool is that? 

The second promotion gives you Extra, Extra Stampin' Up merchandise when you join my team during July or August. The cost of the new demonstrator starter kit is $99--but from now until August 31, new demonstrators will receive an additional $30--which means you can put $155 of any Stampin' Up merch you'd like in your new demonstrator starter kit. And the month after you sign up, you’ll receive a $10 coupon code to spend the following month. 

Contact me today for details about either of these offers!
