Welcome to another Heartfelt Creations Wednesday!
Today we're continuing our under the sea adventure!
For this weeks creation, I decided to go super simple. A white card base, some Distress Ink, along with some detailed fish images and a fun sentiment made this a super quick and easy card.
I usually struggle with a clean and simple card, but I think it turned out swimmingly...
I've flicked some water droplets onto the card before I adhered the fish embellishments and because Ranger Distress Ink reacts with water, you are able to remove some color by blotting it off with a tissue. I thought it gave the card a beautiful water effect.
Here's a bit of a closer look...
These beautiful fancy tailed fish have been colored with my Spectrum Noir colored markers and have then been adhered to the card with pop dots. I've given them a hint of shimmer with some Diamond Stickles. And of course, I could not resist using the fun sentiment with these two beauties!
I hope you've enjoyed today's post! Be sure to head over to the Heartfelt Creations blog for more magical ocean themed creations!
Until next time...
