Meet… Snorkeling Beatrice!!!
Is she cute or what! Lovin’ her curly underwater hair!
I had to place her in an underwater-ish scene… out came the magnetic QK holder full of CCD Cutters dies.
I used…
Shell and Starfish dies (cuts and embosses in one pass)
Bubble Border die (to die for) pun intended = )
Bubbles die (3 circle frames, I used the largest for the underwater adventures sentiment)
Squiggles die
Mistletoe die
Cloud dies
❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
I stamped Snorkeling Beatrice on Papertrey Ink white select card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with Copic Sketch Markers. I cut her out with the Spellbinders Mega Oval Nestabilities die and embossed it while it was still in the die with my embossing stylus. Left it in the die and turned it right side up and sponged on Distress inks with the ink blending tools. First Tumbled Glass, then a little Broken China and last and the least Faded Jeans. Goggles have glossy accents on the lens.
The mats are all cut with the Perfect Layers Tools. Even the card base. I scored an 8.5 x 11 piece of Bazzill card-stock in half and folded it. I held my Tim Holtz ruler at 1/4 in. on the card base fold and placed the top card section (w/adhesive on the back) butted up right to the ruler. Pressed it down… then proceeded to cut the other three sides with the Perfect Layers tools 1/4 in. Because it’s a double layer, you will have to go over your cut again. Works slick!

Luv the cute little underwater adventures sign! I just hand cut the post and glued the circle and sentiment to the top. I did stamp the new CC Designs Woodgrain stamp on the post and the New circle frame die! The rocks on the water bottom are actually clouds! I know… those clouds work for everything… well almost!!! lol Clouds, snow and now rocks! I just hand cut the little “seas the day” banner but it dawned on me after the fact that there is a die that would work for that too! The little fishie is an old EK Success small Paper Shapers punch… I know… not around anymore but Christine will make us some fishie dies! yea!

You are definitely on a roll! You are cranking out the most gorgeous cards imaginable every time you post! I LOVE this one! (I know, i say that a lot) I keep looking at that darned bubble border & I know I’m going to end up getting it one of these days, thanks to you. This is just so cute! And :”Seas the joy!” is so clever of you.
This card is to die for! I love all the fun elements you used. I love the image and this is a perfect summer card!
Pam this is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You get the award for using the most C.C. Cutters in a single card. Love the outside the box use of them too. I’ve literally “peeked” at this card a few times today and it gave me a HUGE smile everytime!
Your little card is absolutely darling! I love your colorized image of the little scuba diver! You did a great job on this! Your little die cuts that you’ve used to create your underwater plants are really really cute and so imaginative! All of your background papers really work well together and the little fish embellishments you’ve added to the seaweed are the perfect compliment to the background papers! Thanks for joining us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. ❤ Candy
