Starfish Story



This is a fun little fish card that would be great for your significant other on an anniversary or birthday or just because. It only takes 1 stamp/die set, a couple of other dies and the coloring medium of your choice. The hearts cutout was only slightly tricky.


For the Inspiration Challenge IC1017, we are visiting the Bradford Exchange & their Pinterest Board, I was inspired by THIS lamp/sound machine.

To make my card, I first colored & die cut the sea creatures, coral & seaweed. I didn’t have an interlocking bubble die, but I thought the heart bubbles went perfectly w/ the greeting so I used it. Normally it goes all the way down the side but I shortened it a bit. The panel was first die cut w/ the largest narrow A2 panel, then the heart bubble die was positioned a little down from the top & over the right edge. I used a smaller top plate & only cut it part of the way down. It still went just a tad over, but the coral & seaweed covers it. The outline of the hearts was put back in & I die cut another heart bubble outline to attach on top, as well. A piece of designer paper was put behind it then all the sea elements attached on top. All of them were popped up 1 layer. I used a couple of Copics to color the back side of some acrylic half rounds & attached them to represent bubbles.

These are the Copics I used:
