Under The Sea TMR

Hi Everyone, my card today is for 
The Male Room

I've gone overboard, literally with my card today, so many items on it, not like me at all, but I had to do it!

Anyhow, I started with embossing the shell images, then I decided to colour it, back it went into the ef after I added ink to the plain side. I then thought of sand, so blended some sand colour around the centre.  It was then I had a look at my dies and found the perfect ones, rather than use one or two, I used the lot. They were coloured with DI's. Next I looked through my paper pads and found one that looked like it was under the sea, I used that as the background. 

 I added all the die shapes, putting some at the back of the embossing folder. They were then added to the "sea" layer and all added to the base card. I couldn't find my stamp sea sentiments, why do they disappear like that? I did have some digital sea sayings, but they wouldn't fit into the space, so I added a digital birthday sentiment, printed and layered 3 times and 3D'd onto the card. A busy card, but as I said, for some reason I had to.

embossing folder - Creative Craft Products, magazine freebie
ef ink - Distress Oxide uncharted mariner 
dies - I think they are Cut & Make, no packing
die inks - Distress Inks, lots of colours
birthday sentiment - Crafters Companion, mag freebie  

 
 
I hope to see you at The Male Room, great inspiration for those men out there, if you're having trouble making a card for them.
