Tenta-Cool Card

Hola everyone! Pocono Pam here. Thanks for stopping by. Today I am sharing a card I created with the exclusive July Cling of the Month. The stamp captures the dynamic movement and detailed texture of octopus tentacles, making it perfect for adding a touch of underwater wonder to any project.

My layered card was fun to create and came together quickly. To begin, I cut three white panels in the following measurements: 2" x 3.25", 3" x 4.25" & 4" x 5.25". I layered the panels onto a stamping platform and stamped the tentacles in black ink.

Next, keeping the panels layered, I placed them on my work surface and blended Ultra Pink, Creamsicle and Dandelion inks onto the panels. I then sprayed the layers with Pink Metallic Mist. To continue, I adhered the largest panel onto an A2 black card base. Next, I matted (2.25" x 3.50") the 2" x 3.25" panel in black. I then matted (3.35" x 4.5") the 3" x 4.25" panel in black as well. I arranged and adhered the matted panels onto the A2 card base.

To continue, I die cut "hello there" in Amethyst and Pitch Black cardstock, layered and adhered to the card front. To complete my card I added a few enamel dots.

I hope the unique octopus motif reflected in the July Cling of the Month inspires you to make a splash with your creations!

Until next time...
