In an Octopus's Garden....
The Octopus and sentiment are stamped with an NBUS stamp set that was in a recent issue of Creative Stamping magazine. The waves are made by pressing embossing ink through a stencil (also a recent magazine freebie) and sprinkling with an aqua sparkle embossing powder and heat embossing. The powder isn't a very good one and doesn't adhere evenly - but then, waves aren't uniform even things, are they?

ReplyDeleteYou've created fantastic glittery waves, Jane, which are definitely mimicking the variation of a real tide and I love the apropopo sediment! But it is truly the octopus that steals the show on this card ~ great coloring! Thank you for sharing with everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
