I love anything and everything that has to do with the ocean, so naturally I had to order the Seascape Bundle with the Sea Life dies. They pair perfectly with the Layering Diorama dies to make this stunning layered Seascape Sea Life Card. I used the alcohol and Blends technique to make the gorgeous “ocean” background.

Directions:
I started by taking my 4” x 5 1/4” white card stock and my Bermuda Bay cardstock and using the Layering Diorama dies to cut out the centers. Then I cut all my other die cut pieces (seahorse, coral, fish, sand dollar, etc) out of my white car stock and foil paper.
Next, I took my vellum and used my Blends to color wavy lines to mimic water. Then I sprayed the vellum with my alcohol spritzer. To speed up the drying process I used my heat tool, but you could also just let it air dry. Once that was dry I attached it to the white card base before attaching the Bermuda Bat cardstock layer over top. Finally, I attached the white layer with some dimensionals.
At this point all that’s left to do is to attach all the cut outs (seahorse, coral, fish, etc) to the card which I did with a combination of glue and dimensionals. Lastly, I stamped my sentiment in Bermuda Bay and attached that to my card with tape and a dimensional. I finished off the card with a champagne rhinestone for the eye of the seahorse and a few clear epoxy dots in the “ocean”.

I think this Seascape Sea Life Card is one of my all-time favorite ocean themed cards that I’ve made! What do you think?
