Waves of the Ocean with Sea Life for Global Design Project 334

Welcome to Global Design Project’s challenge; a fun sketch this week. See how our designers used the sketch, then play along with us by adding your card to our gallery.

I decided to use the sketch to show off the Sea Life fish from the Annual Catalog, with the early release, Waves of the Ocean Designer Paper. The fish is part of the Sea Life Bundle that is discounted 20% during the month of March. You’ll find the complete list of sale bundles below.

First, I cut the fish from a yellow to red section of Rainbow Glimmer Paper. I love this paper for the fish, not only because of the sparkle and ombre effect, but it’s sturdy, and allows the fins to bend.

Sea Life

If you haven’t seen the Waves of the Ocean Designer Paper, I’m hoping to bring it to your attention with today’s card. It is part of the Waves of Inspiration Suite, an early release from the upcoming Annual Catalog, available in May. The stamp set and dies will be in the new catalog, however, this gorgeous paper, the foil, and Rhinestone Waves jewels, will only be available while supplies last. You can see details on these items in my Product List below, and a special video.

Once I had my fish, I chose his ocean, cut a piece, 3 1/2″ X 3 3/4″, and glued it in the center of a Soft Succulent card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then, I cut two strips, 3 1/2″ X 3/4″, layered them for thickness, and attached them with Dimensionals.

The sentiment, “happy birthday” is from the Waves of Inspiration Stamp Set, stamped in Night of Navy Ink on the DSP, cut with a Waves Die, and attached with Dimensionals. When you have fabulous paper, it doesn’t take much to create an eye-catching card!
