8th Anniversary

 

IC922 - 1st Dibs - INSPIRATION

For my card I used a Karen Burniston pop up ball and accessories to create the pop-up octopus. I used purples as it was one of the 2 colors in my niece's and nephew's wedding invitations.

Once the octopus was assembled, I added a bow and layered it on the front of the card with the die cut anniversary sentiment.

I created a belly band as this will be given to my niece for her anniversary. She loves all things underwater and since an octopus has 8 legs it is perfect for her 8th anniversary. On the belly band is a piece of seashell that was from an earring my grandmother wore. It is perfect for the box of this card.

I needed to use up this image from my stack of images and thought it was perfect for this week's Teapot Tuesday's designation.

I fussy cut the image, stamped the sentiment and popped both the image and sentiment up on dimensionals.

The card was finished with some green stripped candy dots as they match the stripes on the image.

For my card I used my technique for mirror image stamping to stamp the first Adirondack chair. Once it was stamped I then put the stamped image in my Misti and stamped the second chair and the sentiment.

I then colored the scene with copics, cut the panel down and popped it up on dimensionals.

Today's Featured Stamper Jennifer aka gwany1999 has a gallery full of amazing inspiration. Here is my INSPIRATION.

I loved the base black and grey.

I have a couple of rolls of great textured wallpaper and it is great for cards. I cut a strip of it for the front of my card then added the thank you sentiment popped up on dimensionals.

The card was finished with some gems.

Thank You
