Always FUN to have a NEW release by COLORADO CRAFT COMPANY and a completely new style of images from Anita Jeram. Sea going creatures in this release that includes three (3) large 6 x 6″ sets with matching sentiments and one 3 x 4″ and one 2 x 3″ sets all with matching dies all with a nautical theme. This time there are Mermaids, Seahorses, Whales and Penguins!
I tried something a bit different with the MERMAID and WHALE set this time. It’s been awhile since I’ve done some paper piecing and this set was just perfect for it!
This is a great way to use up any colored paper scraps and have some fun decorating . I added some coloring to some of the pieces but, mostly I just stamped and fussy cut the pieces. I stamped the image on Distress Heavy Stock and then began adding my pieces from the top down.
This next card is from both of the smaller stamp sets Walrus Mini and Seas the Day. I did a little masking as if the Walrus is trying to squish through the Pilings to say “Hi!”
I love the sentiment that is included in the Seas the Day set that I used here. Living in Alaska for most of my life I was able to see Walrus on several occasions. I colored him in with Copies and enhanced a bit with some colored pencil. Pier pilings always seem to need rope on them or at least that is how I always picture them so I added a couple of pieces on one of the pilings. Some easy Distress Ink blending for a soft but slightly stormy backdrop and some glitter on the clouds that I added with the Lawn Fawn Cloud stencil. The sentiment is heat embossed in Versafine with clear embossing powder.
