Seahorse Card Set with Laurie Schmidt

Hi everyone!

Laurie here today sharing a card I made with some fun Cheery Lynn ocean dies.

I love the cute seahorse family...for this set of cards I used 2 of them.

I cut them out of some alcohol ink background papers I made some time ago. It's a fun technique, you can find the link on how to do it here.

You can see the awesome detail on the seahorse and starfish...I did distress the edges of the starfish and shell a bit. I also added a few sequins for a bit of bling.

For the top card I backed it all on some scallop rectangles, and the bottom I kept very clean and simple:

Here's a list of the Cheery Lynn dies used:

Sand Dollar and Star Fish B279

Under the Sea by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 5 Comments

Hi Everyone, it's JULIE here today and I am sharing with you an underwater themed card which would also look great on a scrapbook layout.

On the edge of my card I tattered my second layer with the edge of my scissors. Next I pressed the edge into my Versamark ink pad and heat set some Gold Embossing powder. My word Explore was also heat embossed in gold.

I used a mixture of foliage on the list below to give the look of Seaweed and Coral at the bottom of the sea. On my Princess Tree die I added a little Distress Stickles. My Starfish was shaded with ink and highlighted with a Fineliner pen, as was my Sand Dollar.

My Anchor was shaded with Copics, heat setting a little Distress Powder and a Patina powder for an aged rusty Look.

The detail on the Seahorse dies is incredible. I cut them out in patterned paper adding a little Stickles and Black Liquid Pearls to their eyes.I moulded the shape of them with my fingers for a curved look and mounted onto my card with Silicone Glue.

Finishing off with an accent from the Ships Compass

My wave edger, small shells and pearls.
