Video: Killer Birthday

Hello there, Michelle here. Today I have a card to share using the fabulous new Killer Messages stamp set. It is such a fun set that can be used for so many occasions but today, I kept it simple and created a fun birthday card. You can see how I made the card in the video below.

I started my card off by cutting the base panels from white and Bristol cardstock using one of the rectangles from the Rectangles Infinity Dies collection. On to one of them I pencilled in a wave and then cut this out. Using Summer Sky , Aquatic and Deep Ocean Bold Inks (you can get the whole set of cubes in the Tropical Waters set), I coloured this piece to look like the sea. I first added a light layer using a stencil brush. I then added over the Abstract Waves Stencil and using daubers , I added the same three colours over the top to give some depth to the sea.

I then stamped the shark and sentiment from the Killer Messages stamp set on to the white cardstock panel with Intense Black ink . The shark was simply coloured using Copic Markers. This panel was added to an A2 black card base with tape runner and then  I added the sea piece on top with foam sheet and double-sided tape. To see how I made the card, you can watch the video below:

The card could easily be replicated using different sentiments for different occasions. Since I made the mask/template for the sea, I can use this over and over again. Thanks so much for popping by today, happy stamping!
