C.A.S.E. the Creator – Summer Card feat My Favorite Things Friends with Fins

Hi everyone! Today I am back with an ocean themed card that I created as part of a fun event organized between crafty friends on Facebook. The event is called C.A.S.E the Creator, and each participant is sharing a project inspired by someone in the group. 
In my case, the inspiration came from this card by Jayma Malme. I used the same layout, giving my own spin on it. 
The stamp set I used is the MFT Friends with Fins stamp set. I stamped the whale with Inkon3 FadeOut ink, because I wanted to do some no-line coloring with my Zig Clean color real brush markers.

For the circular panel I used dies by Tonic Studios and Bristol Smooth Cardstock by Strathmore (I used this cardstock for all the elements on the card).
I added color to the panel with Distress Inks in Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feathers and Cracked Pistachio, using the ink smooshing technique.
To add some shine to the piece, I coated it with the new Gelly by ModaScrap.

I then used the Blueprints 31 Die-Namics to cut some Bristol Smooth Cardstock. I stamped the Wavy Coloring Book Background by MFT on the panel, using MFT’s Grout Gray ink, for a subtle impression. It doesn’t show up a whole lot in the pictures, but in real life it adds a really nice touch to the card.

For the vertical strip I blended Distress Inks in Faded Jeans and Chipped Sapphire. I added water droplets and some hearts from the Friends with Fins, that I stamped with Lawn Fawn Yeti white pigment ink.

For the background I used the Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables and Distress Ink in Black Soot. As a finishing touch, I added some Studio Katia Majestico Confetti, which tie in really nicely with the sparkle from the Gelly!

And that’s it for today! You can check out Jayma’s work on her blog, YouTube channel and Instagram. As always, thank you all so much for stopping by and have a great day!
