Make a Wish
by Annette Allen

Welcome Birch Press Design friends, Annette Allen (myclevercreations) here with you today and I am sharing my first post as one of the newest design team members. YAY! So let’s get started…

I love all things by the sea so today I am creating with the Block Print Glider Fish and Elegant Birthday Sentiments clear stamp and coordinating dies.

I first started with die cutting the Block Print Glider Fish three times on colored cardstock. I did not plan the colors I just picked out some scraps and started die cutting. Adhere all the pieces together using liquid glue.

Don’t worry about how the colors go because as you can see, you can mix and match most colors and they just look fun. I might add that the Block Print Glider Fish is very easy to piece together.

Create a card, A2 size on white cardstock.

Cut a A2 panel on white cardstock and ink blend three colors. I went more with the traditional colors of the sea. Pick colors that you love to ink blend together. I used Oxide inks, so I am going to sprinkle a little water. If you use this technique, make sure to let your panel dry completely before adhering it to your card base.

Once dry, adhere to card base.

Add some foam tape to the back of our cute Block Print Glider Fish and add them to the right side of the card. Try and leave an even amount of space between them.

Adhere some small white sequins in front of each fish. Gives the appearance of bubbles.

Stamp the sentiment from the Elegant Birthday Sentiments clear stamp on one of the colors of cardstock you used on the fish using black ink and die cut using the coordinating dies. Add foam tape to the back and adhere to the left side of the card.

Thank you for stopping by… Happy crafting!
