Hey friends!! Popping with a quick post before I head off to bed. My little guy is totally into Star Wars right now and while he was watching the Empire Strikes Back I whipped up this little card using the current layout from CAS(E) this Sketch. This is my second entry using the sketch. This time I kept pretty closely to the sketch. I'm also adding this to the current CASology challenge "aquatic". I decided to do some inking with my distress inks and the ink distressing tool to create a little ocean for my whale. As much as I like this technique I don't often use it because the motion required to ink up the cardstock aggravates my shoulder, but I decided that I would put up with the discomfort I will probably experience tomorrow to create my card. I die cut a circle from Eclipse tape and then placed the negative on my cardstock. I inked up the bottom portion of my circle with Mermaid Lagoon and Salty Ocean distress inks. I inked up the top portion using Stampin Up! Soft Sky and then removed my mask. The whale (from the PTI mini set "Whale Wishes") was die cut and then stamped using grey ink. I created the waves by inking up additional cardstock with the Salty Ocean and Mermaid Lagoon inks and then die cutting using a Top Dog scalloped edge die. I adhered one small piece to the card panel, added the whale using foam dimensionals and then the final "waves" strip (stamped with the sentiment) using a double label of fun foam. Simple, but a bit complex at the same time, lol!
Thanks for stopping by today...

Hi Rosemary... hope that shoulder feels ok now...because any discomfort was so worth it!

Fantastic card, it's so cute! I love your layers of waves.
What a sweet whale! I love that soft blue circle. So sorry that your shoulder hurts by doing that. Mine usually does too, but last month I got a cortizone shot and a procedure done that breaks up the calcium deposits. Feels great for now.
This is just adorable!!
Super cute card, Rosemary! Love the shades of blue you used & hope your shoulder didn't bother you too much!
