I'D BE OTTERLY LOST WITHOUT YOU (3)

I created this cute friendship card with the Otterly Love You stamp set from My Favorite Things.

For the background of this card I used the Drifts & Hills stencil from My Favorite Things for blending. I used Broken China and Cracked Pistachio Oxide Ink to create waves to look like water. I added some water drops to the background and dried them with a cloth. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment using white embossing powder from Lawn Fawn.

I stamped the images and colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Otters: E53 - E55 - E57
Rocks: C0 - C2 - C3
Fish: B21 - B23
Heart: R01 - R32

I fussy cut the images and adhered them to my background. I used a white gelly roll pen to add some dots and highlights to the images. I also added Nuvo Crystal Drops in the color Pale Periwinkle to the background, to make them look like bubble under water.

I started with no plan for this card and it turned out great.

I'D BE OTTERLY LOST WITHOUT YOU (2)

For this thank you card, I combined a bunch of stamps and dies from different companies. The main focus is on the Otterly Love You stamp set from My Favorite Things.

I took a piece of Mermaid cardstock and repeatedly stamped the words 'thank you' onto it. I used Merman Ink from Lawn Fawn, the stamp is from Mama Elephant's Bear Hugs. When I finished the stamping, I die cut the panel with the Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables from Lawn Fawn.

I stamped on of the otter images and the two fish that come in the set. I colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Otter: E31 - E33
Fish: C3 - C5

I fussy cut the images. I die cut a scalloped circle, with the Scalloped Circle Stackables from Lawn Fawn and blended some Abandoned Coral Distress Ink onto it. I stamped the sentiment onto the scallped circle and assembled the card.

I added the panel onto a piece of Let's Polka in the Meadow patter paper, adhered it to a white cardbase and added some Nuvo Crystal Drops to it in the color white.

For this card I was winging it, it just happened. It turned out pretty good.

For this Mother’s Day card I used the Otterly Love You stamp set from My Favorite Things.

I started on the background. I used Distress Ink. I took my mini ink blending tool, added Distress Ink to it and stamped the tool onto the paper. This leaves a circle shaped impression on the paper. I used four Distress Ink colors: Cracked Pistachio, Evergreen Bough, Mermaid Lagoon and Peacock Feathers. I also wanted to create some little dots, so I used the Polka Dots stencil from My Favorite Things. I used a light hand and added Cracked Pistachio onti it from the middle of the panel towards the outside. I also added some Mermaid Lagoon in some spots.

I die cut the panel with the Wonky Stitched Rectangle STAX from My Favorite Things and set it aside.

I stamped the otter images, where the otter is holding the baby. I colored it with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Mom otter: E57 – E29
Baby otter: E43 – E31

I stamped the sentiment in Soot Ink from Lawn Fawn and adhered the image onto the panel. I added the panel to a white cardbase.

It’s meant to be a Mother’s Day card, but it can be used for other occasions.
