Studio Katia 2nd Anniversary Blog Hop (+GIVEAWAYS!)

26 May

Good morning!!  I’m thrilled to be a stop on the hop for the 2nd Anniversary Blog Hop for Studio Katia!  Studio Katia is celebrating their Anniversary with a new release!!  The May 2018 release includes 6 new clear stamp sets and 4 sets of coordinating dies, 4 new stand-alone creative dies, 2 new stencils and new embellishments!!  Today I’m using the adorable Under the Sea set for my card!

So storytime…while in college I took a field ecology course over the summer of my sophomore year.  I was a music major but always enjoyed science so I took a few extra science courses just for fun.  And this class was a 12 day, 100 mile ocean kayaking trip in the Baja Peninsula.  I had literally never been in a kayak prior to taking the class (as was the case for every student in the class) so it was definitely a crash course in learning how to kayak.  We camped on deserted virgin beaches every night and basically saw no one the entire time we were kayaking.  And it was amazing!  It was stunningly beautiful and we saw tons and tons of wildlife everyday…rays, dolphins, scorpions, sea birds, tarantulas, and countless fish!  The only bad part of the trip…on the 5th day of our trip I was pushing my kayak through the waves and I stepped on a stingray.  And made him REALLY mad.  I never knew how much control stingrays have over their stingers and that they can drive those suckers straight down through the top of your foot.  And the pain was like nothing I’ve ever felt in my life.  And the cure…is to put your foot in a bucket with ocean water and pour boiling water into the bucket to break down the poison sheath and stop the pain.  Yeah…that was exciting.  Needless to say now I look at the aquarium tanks with the “pet the stingray” displays very differently than most people. 😉

Anyway, as soon as I saw the stingrays in the Under the Sea set I wanted to use them on a card!  I started by blending peacock feathers and mermaid lagoon distress oxide ink onto a piece of white cardstock.  Then I splattered the panel with water and blotted off the excess.  Next I laid the Brush Stroke Waves stencil over the panel and applied a thin layer of blue topaz glimmer paste!  I let that dry and then trimmed the panel down to 4″ by 5.25″.

Next I stamped the stingrays onto watercolor paper with versamark and heat-embossed them with silver embossing powder.  I watercolored them with my mijello mission gold watercolors and let them dry.  Then I masked off the bottoms and added splatters of dark grey paint to give them the look of an eagle ray (like the teacher ray from Finding Nemo!).  I used the coordinating dies to die-cut them and then added a layer of spectrum noir clear sparkle to their tops.

I stamped the sentiment on white cardstock and heat-embossed it with silver embossing powder before trimming it down to an angled label.  I adhered the stenciled panel to a card base, and added the rays and sentiment with foam mounting tape.  Finally I finished the card with a few iridescent bubbles!  Maybe it was a form of catharsis…but I really had fun with this card!  🙂

    Bless your foot honey, I understand the reluctance to be with the sting ray again, least it wasn’t a jellyfish, I got stung slightly once as a teenager and the cute for that was to put foot in bucket of human wee !! Thankfully the ambulance got there quickly x
    Your card is super sweet and your story will stay with me x

    Love your story – Love your card! My Mom and I were at a local aquarium at the pet the Ray tank. A boy next to us was poking at a sea cucumber and the sea cucumber was not happy and squirted at the boy, but got my Mom instead! I have a son named Ray and he has a few “ray” ornaments on our Christmas tree. Great card

    Great card, yes Sting Rays can be dangerous but Manta Rays are not (no stinger). Always shuffle your feet to avoid stepping on either.

    I don’t even want to think about that experience! I am pretty sure I would have freaked out over the tarantula! But … thanks for sharing. The trip sounds like a lifetime memory kind of thing. I love your background, and now I see why you colored your ray more naturally. Thank you.

    Quite the adventure. We got stung by jellyfish so I would be equally afraid of a stingray.

Disclosure

I design for several companies because I truly love their products! Anything I recommend on my blog is something that I genuinely love and regularly use. I do not get paid for product reviews and I will never recommend a product that I do not like or would not use.

I am affiliated with several of my favorite crafty companies which means I receive a small commission (at no additional cost to you!!) when you click on one of my links and make a purchase through the store.

You can find my full disclosure as well as a list of the companies I am affiliated with HERE. Thank you so much for supporting me!
