To recreate the marbleous waves card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅝” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Night of Navy card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3½” – rounded upper right corner
Simply Marbleous dsp – 5½” by 3”
Silver Foil – 5½” by 3”
Night of Navy card – 2⅛” by ¼”
Scrap Basic White card

I punched a 1” Circle from a Post It Note and placed it onto the panel of Basic White card. Using Blending Brushes, I added Balmy Blue ink to the panel, leaving it lighter in the centre. I added Night of Navy ink to add depth to the top of the panel.

Using the Stamparatus, I stamped the wave image in Night of Navy ink onto the piece of Simply Marbleous dsp and fussy cut it out using my sharp Paper Scissors.

I used the co-ordinating Wave Dies; I die cut one of the detailed waves from the piece of Silver Foil. It was added over the fussy cut wave image using liquid glue. The whole piece was added to the blended panel on Dimensionals. The whole panel was mounted onto the Thick Basic White card base with Liquid Glue.

The pelican on the post was stamped in Early Espresso ink onto the scrap Basic White card. It was die cut using the Wave Dies. I then trimmed around the posts as I didn’t want the thin white edge. I coloured in the image using the following Blends – Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight and Petal Pink. It was added to the edge of the card using Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Night of Navy. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool. It was added to the card front with liquid glue.

A trio of Iridescent Rhine stones were added to complete the card.

The sentiment was from the Nuts and Bolts stamp set but I only wanted the word ‘greeting’ so I covered the part of the sentiment I didn’t want with washi tape, inked it up with Versamark ink, removed the washi tape and stamped it onto scrap Basic Gray card.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A cute male themed card using the While done stamp set and made for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

I inked up the ‘seaweed’ image from the Whale Done stamp set using Pretty Peacock on the bottom and Just Jade ink I stamped down on the blended area. I stamped this multiple times in 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd generation ink and at different levels.

The shoals of fish were added using So Saffron ink. The panel was then added onto one of the large Basic White panels using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive – roughly in the centre

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A cute male themed card using the While done stamp set and made for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

I took the four panels of card stock measuring 4½” by 3” and cut them into thin strips, wider at one end than the other. Taking the strips, I added them to the 5¼” by 3½” layer of Basic White using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive leaving a small strip of white visible between the strips. I trimmed off any excess when the whole panel was covered.

Using the Stitched So Sweetly dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine I cut a scalloped rectangle from the centre. I cut the largest scalloped rectangle from the same die set from the panel of Misty Moonlight and used my Paper Trimmer to cut out the centre. This was added to the panel with liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A cute male themed card using the While done stamp set and made for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

The die cut panel was then adhered, using Dimensionals over the stamped panel leaving a small white border. The panel was then added to the Balmy Blue card base using the liquid glue.

I inked up the Whale image using Balmy Blue ink then added Misty Moonlight to the top of the whale using the ink pad. This was stamped onto scrap Basic White card and punched out using the Whale Builder Punch. I added Dimensionals to the body and liquid glue to the head and added it to the card front. I added Clear Wink of Stella to the whale to give him a watery look.
