Bubbly Octopus

Here is a technique to amuse your inner child. Unfortunately, mine did not want to play nicely, so I stamped a few bubbles in the end. Check it out. You might have better luck than I did. The tutorial is at: Soap Bubble Art.

First, I took the watercolor paper panel and tried to do the tutorial mentioned above, but my bubbles did not come up at all. So I watercolored the background, using Orchid Opulence, Pacific Point, and Pixie Pink. I let the panel dry and then stamped directly onto it.

I stamped the sand, using Baked Brown Sugar.

I then stamped the tall grasses with Tranquil Tide.

Next, I stamped the sentiment and the small plants, using Mossy Meadow.

I then stamped and die cut the Octopus, using Melon Mambo and Under the Sea Framelits.

I attached the octopus with a few dimensionals.

I then added the net, using More Mustard and added a few bubbles with a bit of Soft Sky.

Lastly, I adhered the panel to the Soft Suede card front and adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.

I followed a tutorial by Lisa Curcio. Just click on her name and it will take you to her video on you tube.

First, I stamped my sentiment and then die cut it and the vellum bottle.

I then swiped my watercolor paper with the embossing buddy. I stamped my sentiment in white craft and applied white embossing powder. I then heat set it and let it dry and cool a bit.

I watercolored my vellum bottle and the spill over the sentiment. I think I should have made a smaller splash.

I added a few bubbles and then adhered the panel to the card front.

I adhered the bottle and then added the sentiment. The basic white panel was added to the inside of the card.
