Looking for Clean and Simple Ideas, but also want some bold color? Check out this beautiful design that combines a clean background with a shiny ocean vignette.
Today, Lisa is bringing us a shiny ‘under the sea’ scene card that is truly dazzling. Lisa shared, “If you know me, you know I don’t usually create Clean and Simple cards so this was a challenge for me! And some would say this doesn’t follow the Clean and Simple rules… but then again, I tend to break them. But I think it’s close!” We think it’s a beautiful blend of white open space, and bold sparkly chaos, and we LOVE IT!! Follow along with Lisas simple steps to recreate this great card! Best Fishes!
- I started by die cutting a white panel with the largest die from the 5013d Nested Rectangle Small Stitch Die Set.
- Then I die cut the 5816-01d Netting Cover Die from another white cardstock panel and to cut it down to the same size as the stitched rectangle, I ran it through my die cutting machine with the same stitched rectangle die. The netting was then adhered to the backdrop with a very light amount of liquid adhesive.
- Next I cut my fishes and sea plants using the 5816-02d Tropical Fish Dies and 5816-03d Seaweed and Coral Dies. I love the fishes and all of their little details. I adhered the pic from the packing to the back of my magnetic sheet I store them on to help me assemble them as intended, but you can definitely mix and match many of the details however you want them.
- To add a backdrop for my little scene, I die cut some vellum using a die from the 5030d Nested Scallop Oval Nested Dies and adhered it to the netting panel and then arranged my sea creatures and plants into a little scene using liquid adhesive and foam tape.
- Finally, for my sentiment I die cut letters using the 5742d Vintage Alphabet Die set and added them to the card.
