Hello Birch Press Design friends and fans! This is Design Team member Crystal Komara here with you today sharing another card that I created using products from the Block Print Ocean Inspired collection. What a beautiful collection this is!
The base of this A2 sized card is made from 110 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock. This is my go-to cardstock for everything! I use it to make cards, card bases, die cutting, stamping and Copic coloring. It’s a great quality paper and one that I highly recommend.
For the first layer of this card I used one of my pre-made alcohol ink backgrounds. I keep a stash of pre-made alcohol ink background in a drawer, because they are so easy to pull from, rather than pulling out all that ink and making a mess on the fly.
On a 2″ circle of white cardstock, I stamped the sentiment “sending hugs and smiles” in teal ink. Unfortunately I did not realize it at the time, but this sentiment is from a now-retired set. Sorry! But, you could use ANY saying of your choosing and that would work just fine for this card.
Using the Block Print Proud Seahorse and the Block Print Floating Jellyfish, I die cut the pieces from white, blue and green cardstock. I then assembled the small pieces using a fine tip liquid adhesive. I adhered the seahorse and the jellyfish to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.
The Block Print Ocean inspiration collection is available to shop now online at Birch Press Design. Thank you for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!
