Deeply Grateful For Your Friendship by Noga Shefer

Hi crafty friends,  Noga here and I am so happy to share with you another project for Gerda Steiner Designs today.

My card featuring  Deeply 4x6 Clear Stamp Set and Deeply 4x6 Die Set.

I would like to make a fun card with those adorable critters.

To make this card I took an A2 panel of Bristol smooth cardstock. The sea background was 

created by blending tumbled glass, speckled egg and faded jeans distress oxide inks.

I spired some water onto it and soaked it up with paper towel and

splattered some faded jeans distress oxide ink with water on it.

The sand background was created by blending scattered straw oxide ink and

splattered some walnut stain distress oxide ink with water on it.

Next I colored the images using copic markers. 

I glued them to my panel with foam tape for dimension. 

Next I stamped a greeting from the stamp set using black ink.

I hope you enjoy the project I created and feel inspired to create!

Have a wonderful week!
