Hey there Avery Elle fans! I’m on the Avery Elle Blog today with a card featuring a handsome lil’ shark that just wants to find love! How are going to resist that cheeky wee grin? He definitely doesn’t want to eat you, he just wants to cuddle 😉
I’ve created a video to share how this card came together but be warned, it’s not for the faint of heart!!
I stamped the images from the Shark Hugs set and coloured them using Copics. To give the shark some texture, I used the colourless blender (0) and a white gel pen to add some detail. Included in the die set is a small die that cuts around the fins so that his little offerings can be held in his hands (um, fins)!
For the background I die cut the Three Hearts die from the card base and adhered some red spotty paper from the Holiday Paper Pad behind it with foam tape. I added the sentiment and a few heart and finished by adding some Glossy Accents to the rose and the tiny heart on the envelope.
Here’s another sample using the Shark Hugs stamp set. This time I stamped Hug Me in the centre of the bitten heart and coloured it red with drops of blood falling from it! Perhaps a card for the couple with a slightly darker sense of humour (cough, me, cough!!) ??
Supplies:
I know I’m late to the game playing with this awesome shark finally but is there a trick to lining up the fin cutout die? I ruined my colored image this weekend and couldn’t get it right. I watched the video and paused it a couple of times but it’s quick and I wasn’t sure.
