Fairy Stamper - Fishy Anniversary

 Hello crafting friends and welcome back to another Fairy Stamper Friday share.
As much as we all love our fairies, I made a card today without a fairy in sight! Shocking right?
My daughter loves the ocean, so I thought this fishy Anniversary card would be great for her and her hubby, and yes, he does like the ocean too :-)




To make this 6" x 6" card, I began by stamping, die cutting and colouring a few fish, algae, and the little castle.
Next I stamped the vines onto blue vellum and adhered my stamped images to create a scene.  Now comes the fun part - I used a sandwich baggie and put a little blue hair gel in it.  I found a small container at Walmart that was just the right blue :-) I then used the fuse tool to seal a 5.75" x 5.75" square ensuring that the gel couldn't leak anywhere. Then it was just a matter of adhering the layers together and using a few die cuts as embellishments to finish off the card. 
Unfortunately, sometimes, when it's late at night (or extremely early in the morning as was with this card - about 2.30 am) I messed up.  You see that larger area in the centre between the two clumps of seaweed? Well that was intentional so that I could stamp a seahorse in there.  But as you can see, I sealed the whole thing and forgot the sweet seahorse.  I've linked it below anyways, in case you want to make something like without forgetting to use it :-)

As always, here is the list of the Fairy Hugs stamps I used, each linked to the Fairy Stamper store, for your convenience.

Thank you so much for stopping by.  I hope you will create a project and come join the fun. Our challenges go live every other Thursday on our Facebook group.   All you have to do is to create a project and upload the pic to our challenge album.  There is a $15.00 prize for one lucky participant.

Till next time,
stay safe and well.

  2. Oh Lena this is fabulous. Love the blue hair gel technique. One question, are the frames just a die & emboss? Or where on earth did you find the embossing folder. A very well done project hun!
