While excited about free shipping, I created a card with a fun, “acrylic block” technique for a beautiful, Sea Life, fish.

Acrylic Block Technique

 

 

The acrylic blocks come in a number of sizes to fit various sized stamps. I used size H to stamp four rows across Basic White Cardstock, the size of a card front, 5 1/2″ X 4 1/4″.

I inked the block, stamping the cardstock in even rows, using three colors: Pool Party, Mint Macaron, and Coastal Cabana. The block was easily cleaned with a Baby Wipe between colors. Then, I used the largest Stitched Rectangles Die for cutting.

 

Next, I positioned the fish, a Sea Life Die, and rolled it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Now I understand why the fish was designed to not be completely cut. See what I mean?

I tried several colors for the card base (8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″), but the Shaded Spruce really made the fish pop.

 

For the sentiment, I used “Best Wishes” from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set, stamped in Shaded Spruce Ink, and cut with an Ornate Frames Die. To make it stand out, I used the die that’s a size larger to cut a frame from Mint Macaron Cardstock.

I added some bubbles from the Seascape Stamp Set, along with three Artistry Blooms Sequins, and my card was complete.

 

I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.
