Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge for May. We could use all or any three brand new In Colors. I chose to go with Tahitian Tide, Starry Sky, and Orchid Oasis. I added just a splash of Sweet Sorbet in the fish.
I immediately thought of water with these colors and I'm smack in the middle of graduation season, so I decided to make a cute, fun graduation card. The Otters for Awesome Otters (retired) made a cute pair and the little graduation cap just fits on top of the otter's head. The sentiment that comes with the set is perfect for a grad sentiment too, I think.
Inspiration also came from the photo at Just Add Ink this week. That blue water is just so beautiful!
I started by stamping the Amazing Congratulations stamp in Starry Sky and Orchid Oasis on Tahitian Tide cardstock. I also stamped the Otters in Tahitian Tide ink on the top and bottom of the Congratulations. I sponged some Starry Sky ink over the otters with my blending brush. I then stamped the otters a second time on scrap white cardstock in Memento ink, colored them with my Blends markers and fussy cut them out. I also stamped the little grad cap for Round Of Applause (retired) and fussy cut it out. The colored otters were then adhered onto the stamped otters. I glued on the grad cap and added the otterly awesome sentiment. A little bit of linen thead and some sequin accessories tie the whole card together.
I adhered the main panel to a dry embossed background of Orchid Oasis and mounted it all on a base of Starry Sky.
Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!
