Cute Card Thursday #136 - So Transparent!

Happy Thursday!

Time for another Cute Card Thursday Challenge. The challenge this week is So Transparent! (Make a clear card or feature a transparent element). Our sponsor this week is The Stamp Shoppe.



Here is my card...


Stamps: Little Mermaid Tilda, Sea Horse, Seaweed, sentiment from SU! (not sure of the name)
Paper: The paper is from SU! (DP is retired)
Accessories: Transparency, Bubbes Fiskars Texture Plate, Pearls, Flowers, Dew Drops, Branch punch, charm, eyelets, ribbon, fishing line



I cut Tilda out and attached some fishing line to make her appear to be floating in the water. In the pictures above, you can see how she can move back and forth.


After I colored the base, I felt it was a little out of balance, so I added the red bow to carry the red on down the card. I added Dew Drops to give the appearance of 3-D bubbles.


My transparency element is the window for the port hole. I embossed it with the Bubbles Fiskars Texture Plate to give the feel of water. I used vellum with bubbles as a background to Tilda (hard to see the bubbles in the picture). I used white card stock and red eyelets for the port hole.

Thanks for stopping by today. See you Saturday for another Sugar Creek Hollow creation.

  10. Love the nautical look. I really liked how you suspended tilde, but what did you do for the back of her? I just might have to lift this one for my son's next birthday card as he is in the Navy.
