Hello Crafty Friends! Priscilla here from Nubble Light Designs. Today I am sharing a “whale” of a fun ocean-themed birthday card. I used a coordinating paper pad from the Kat Scrappiness “Friends Under the Sea” collection to cut multiple strips of paper of various lengths to create a textured background. It turned out to be the perfect backdrop for an adorable whale image and coordinating sentiment!

I used the Kat Scrappiness Friends Under the Sea stamp set/dies and the Friends Under the Sea paper pad to make today’s card.

Card Details:

Created an A2 top-folding sand colored card base.
Cut strips of various lengths from the Friends Under the Sea paper pad.

Adhered them to the front of the card, leaving the same distance between each strip.
Ran the front of the card through my Big Shot machine using a bubble embossing folder from my stash to add texture.

Stamped the whale from the Friends Under the Sea stamp set/dies onto light blue cardstock, die cut it out, and added shading with gray Copic markers.

Stamped the sentiment “Have a Whale of a Day!” with blue ink onto the same cardstock and die cut it out with a speech bubble die from my stash.

Adhered the whale and sentiment to the front of the card.
