Greetings SCS! This is my first upload, so please let me know if I did anything wrong. This card was created for this week's Tea Party. Karen, the recipient, likes whales and dolphins, so I decided to go with those.
I started with the whale and coral die-cuts, which are both from Stamperia's "Artic World" collection. Then I dug out the blue background paper, which already had the dolphins on it. I got it many years ago, and unfortunately, I have forgotten who made it.
After playing around with the layout a little, I decided that something needed to go above the whale. So I fussy cut the "Sea Adventure" collage element from Stamperia's "Song of the Sea" Collectables booklet. I also cut a wavy piece from some sand-patterned paper that came in an ancient DCWV pad called "Travel". I used that to make the ocean bottom.
Finally, I glued everything down, before adding the seashell and the sand dollar embellishments. They're both Dress It Up buttons. I cut off the shanks and used sandpaper to smooth the backs.
And that's it! I had a lot of fun making this card, and look forward to participating in other tea parties!
