Whale Hello

Here's my card for the current challenge at Try Stampin' on Tuesday.  I combined the layout with the challenge's beach theme for this summery hello card. The layout's three round elements are represented by a trio of whales from Reverse Confetti's Seaside stamp set. The images were stamped in pale blue pigment ink before I cut them out with the matching die. For a whimsical element I gave each one a wiggly eye. The images were arranged on an aqua card base with a strip of navy striped patterned paper along the right side. The pattern reminded me of waves, so it seemed like a good match for an ocean themed design. I combined two of the set's sentiments to get the "whale hello" sentiment that I stamped on a small rectangle of aqua cardstock. The text was adhered to the bottom of the patterned paper panel to complete the design.

Materials Used:
Seaside stamp set, Iced Aqua cardstock, Under the Umbrella 6x6 paper pad, Seaside dies (Reverse Confetti); Winter pigment ink (Mama Elephant); Memento Nautical Blue ink (Tsukineko/IMAGINE Crafts); wiggly eyes; foam tape
