Under the sea...

Happy Tuesday,

Ive been playing with the new Izibnk Spay inks and the Gophers hotfooting machine for todays card and whilst darker than my usual offerings I love the look of this card!




I foiled the seahorse and the frame hot foil stamps sing my go press and then matched colours of the izink inks.  I sprayed a piece of card with the petrol and ocean inks which dried straight away giving the chalky look and du=ie cut the coral pale die from couture creations.


I added velum behind this and tied string arround before adding the foiled seahorse.

I then sprayed the background piece and embossed this with a folder from my stash.  I stamped the sentiment and then dry brushed white chalk paint over the card before making up the finished project.

I added the whole piece to another panel of the sprayed card and finished.

Enjoy...

    Hello John, a lovely card, the foiling is really delicate but stands out well. Have a good day all. Bx

    Hi John. I really like this card even though it is not your usual style. Had a bit of trouble trying to find the Gophers Hotfooting machine until I realised you were referring to a hotfoiling machine!
