Here is a narwhal from Lawn Fawn's Arctic Critters. I made the watery background using TH Distress Stain (Tumbled Glass) combined with lots of stamping using SU's Gorgeous Grunge. I added the 'bubbles' using the end of a sponge dauber and a marker dipped in white ink. I have also added a spritz of pearlescent spray.
The seaweed is actually some pine branches doing some multi-tasking! The die I used is Pine Boughs by Poppy Stamps. I've coloured the narwhal with Promarkers - great for creating his speckled head!
Happy Crafting! April x

ReplyDeleteThanks Sazzle! Yes, I should imagine they are a different kettle of fish (or whale!) in real life :-) Xx

DeleteApril your card is so pretty. He's a really cute little character. I love the background you've made and the fern is perfect for the seaweed. Love it. Barb xx
ReplyDeleteGreat card. Love how you created the background to look like water. Your seaweed is a clever use of a pine die and the little sea creature is wonderful. I'm one of your new followers.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kathy and welcome! :-) Xx
