Thank You Card | Essentials by Ellen - Julie Ebersole's S'Whale



Hello!

This card came together easily by combining Julie Ebersole’s great images from the “S’Whale" Stamp/DieSet with Distress Oxide Inks! 

After adhering an aqua panel to a top-folding white A-2 cards base, I lightly blended Distress Oxide Inks (Cracked Pistachio, Salty Ocean, Faded Jeans, and Wilted Lavender) onto the lower right area of white card stock measuring 3 7/8” x 5 1/8”. The panel was spritzed with shimmer spray and allowed to dry - I wanted to leave quite a bit of white space on the card. The whale image was stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink and heat embossed with clear powder. I colored the image with pearlized paint, stamped the barnacle texture with oxide ink, lightly sprayed it with water and die cut the whale. I used the whale die cut to help me determine where to place the waves and fish schools in the background. Once those were stamped, I adhered the whale to the panel with some foam tape and added a few pieces of confetti. To finish the card, I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto black card stock, trimmed it to size and glued it onto the panel.

I love simple cards like this one which feature great imagery (and are fun to create!)  


Thanks for joining me today!
