Grunge Seahorse

Iva made this beautiful underwater themed card with the fabulous grunge seahorse stamp from our CREATE YOUR CALM set, our GRUNGE TONES background stamps and ‘Just Be Happy’ sentiment.

Iva stamped the grunge tones dots in versamark ink and embossed with white embossing powder. When it was dry, Iva blended salty ocean distress oxide ink over the dots. The seahorse was stamped directly onto the background in black, then stamped again onto a separate piece of card and Iva coloured it with Arteza brush pens before cutting it out. Next some splatters of black were added to the background with a posca pen. Iva then fixed the fussy cut seahorse over the stamped image to create another layer, adding some thread for more texture. The sentiment was stamped in black and layered onto the card, and some blue enamel dots were added as the finishing touch.
