The Rabbit Hole Designs August Release!

5 Aug

Good morning!  Today I’m sharing a card using products from the August release from The Rabbit Hole Designs!

  • Balloon Animals 1 (with coordinating dies)
  • Balloon Animals 2 (with coordinating dies)

I decided to pair Balloon Animals 2 with one of my favorite older sets from The Rabbit Hole Designs – Otterly Adore.  I stamped the otter, some undersea greenery, coral, and the cute crab balloon and colored them with copics.  I used R30, R32, R35, R37, R39, and R89 for the crab and coral, E71, E74, E77, and E79 for the otter, and G21 and G24 for the greenery.  Once I finished coloring I die-cut all the images with the coordinating dies.

Next I created my ocean background!  I used the Making Waves stencil to mask off the ocean floor and blended it with Antique Linen and Tea Dye distress oxide inks.  Then I used Chipped Sapphire, Uncharted Mariner, Peacock Feathers, and Salvaged Patina distress oxide inks for the water.  I splattered the panel with water and copic opaque white ink and set it aside to dry.

Once it was dry I arranged all the elements on the background and adhered them with a mix of liquid glue and ATG adhesive.  I also added a little piece of twine for my balloon thread.  Finally I added a thin layer of nuvo crystal glaze over the entire crab balloon to give it a little extra shine!

And that’s it for me today!  I hope you’ll head over and check out the full release!  I’m hopping to celebrate the release so please head to the next link for lots more inspiration using the sweet August release from The Rabbit Hole Designs!  Thanks for stopping by and have a fantastic week!
