If you haven’t seen the Whale of a Time Designer Paper, you need to check it out in my Product List below. It really is amazing!
It’s a warm (some would say hot) day in San Diego, so an ocean themed card was a natural.
The first thing I did was cut a heart from Thick Whisper White Cardstock, using a Be Mine Stitched Die. It’s the one where the widest part is 2 1/2″. Then, I stamped the sentiment, “My love for you is bigger than the ocean,” in Pretty Peacock Ink.
The heart called for some texture, so I embossed it with the Seabed Embossing Folder, which was perfect for my ocean theme. I love how you can emboss over a sentiment, and it’s still legible.
For the background, I cut a piece of Whale of a Time Designer Paper with the largest Layering Frames Die. The seahorses are in an ocean, with a matching, Balmy Blue card base.
Next, I fussy cut the whale and turtle, also from Whale of a Time Designer Paper, and glued their “faces” to the heart. Before attaching the three to the card front, I gave the ocean some sparkle with a 4 1/2″ piece of Metallic Mesh Ribbon. Fun stuff!
The last detail was adding three sequin bubbles coming from the whale’s blowhole.
I was inspired by TGIF.

Love this card! Think I may CASE and substitute one of the sea animals with a mermaid. My granddaughter’s birthday is coming up next week and wants a “mermaid” themed party this year! Thanks for the inspiration!
