Our current challenge at Retro Rubber Challenge Blog is under the sea! Most of my recent paper crafting has been scrapping a cruise I went on with my dear husband for our 20th Anniversary! But none of those layouts are "under the sea"! For the majority of my layouts it is all above the ocean action.
Then I remembered I had this super cute Shark Pudgie released in June 2017. There are a "few" cute images I like playing with, and this is one. It will stick around for awhile longer, while others get purged.
- The background is super simple, a foam brayers with Kaleidacolor in Blue Breeze. The wave die cut is adhered over the top to create white waves.
- The shark is die cut, then the stamp is carefully inked and the die cut placed over it to get the inked areas on the die cut. It is really hard to line up and get a good image by stamping first. The shark is stamped once on the die cut and a second time on white cardstock. The white cardstock is trimmed to fit behind the shark die cut. The stamped eyes show through the holes and give the image a bit of a cartoon eye look. Plus the teeth show up white.
- The outline of the shark is die cut through the background.
- A sentiment from the set is stamped and die cut in a circle. Kaleidacolor's darkest ink in Blue Breeze is used to stamp the sentiment, and the lightest color to ink the edges.
- The background and card base corners are rounded and the entire card is adhered together.
I think he's pretty cute and not scary at all!
