Made for Each Otter!

24 Apr

Good morning and happy Monday!  I’m excited to be sharing a card made with the new release from The Rabbit Hole Designs!  This release features the sweetest otters and sea animals from Agota Pop as well as a new floral set designed by Kelly Taylor!!

Today I’m using Otterly Adore and the Making Waves stencil!  I stamp the otters and heart with versafine, heat-emboss them with clear embossing powder, and color them with copics before die-cutting them with the coordinating dies.  I use my favorite E70, E71, E74, E77, and E79 combo for that soft grey-brown fur along with a little R00 and R02 for their noses and ears!  The heart is colored with RV14, RV25, and RV29.

Next I blend a ocean background of Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers, and Uncharted Mariner distress oxide inks.  I splatter the panel with water and shimmer spray and let it dry.  Then I use the various ocean plants in the Making Waves stencil to create a shadowy silhouette.  I blend Uncharted Mariner with a heavier hand and use Chipped Sapphire distress oxide inks to create the subtle and not-so-subtle designs!  I stamp a sentiment in navy blue ink and die-cut it with the flag die from the You’ve Been Framed die set.  I adhere the sentiment and images with foam mounting tape and finish the card with a few accents with a white gel pen!  I just adore those otters!! Ack!

I hope you’ll stop by and check out the full release…it’s full of must-haves!  Thanks so much for stopping by and have an amazing day!
