This card has just a Basic White card base with a layer of this paper that kind of suggests water in the Sunshine & Rainbows 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, another freebie during Sale-A-Bration you could choose! The Basic White textured rectangle was in with my paper and seemed like the right size I could use on this card. It was die cut with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies and then embossed with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder.
To make it look like the otter is swimming in the water in a pond, perhaps, I die cut the center of that embossed piece with the largest die in the Tasteful Labels Dies. I popped this piece up with Stampin’ Dimensionals®.
The otter is stamped with Memento Ink and colored in with Stampin’ Blends markers. I used Soft Suede on the otter with Crumb Cake for his middle. The fish was colored with a couple of different colors so make yours whatever colors you like if you know what a certain fish looks like! I also stamped and colored in the little birthday hat. The otter and his birthday hat are then cut out and popped up on Dimensionals “in the water”.
The greeting is in the stamp set and is die cut with another of the Tasteful Labels Dies. I adhered a small little bow made with the Linen Thread. On the inside of the card, I stamped a birthday greeting from another set and also stamped another otter, the one who is swimming, in the lower corner in Pool Party ink.
And to make the water sparkle a bit, I added some Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels. Whatever card you make, just have fun with these Awesome Otters!
