A trio of sea turtles thank you card made using the Sea Turtles stamp set from Stampin' Up! and a card sketch

Trio of Sea Turtles card

I have challenged myself to use the card templates on page 22 of the annual catalogue to make my card today. I have used the Sea Turtles stamp set to make my card.

The colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the trio of turtles’ card, you will need:

Coastal Cabana card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅞” by 3”
Copper Clay card – 5⅞” by ⅜” x 2
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic Beige card

 

Using the back of the long bubble image and 2nd generation (stamped off once) Coastal Cabana ink, I stamped up the length of the 5⅞” by 3” piece of Basic White card. This provides some background texture and a lovely watery effect.

I glued the Copper Clay strips to either side of the stamped panel and then glued the whole piece to the Coastal Cabana card front.

The large turtle was stamped in Copper Clay ink onto scrap Basic Beige card. I also stamped two of the adorable baby turtles using the same ink and scrap Basic Beige card. These were then fussy cut out using sharp Scissors.
