I returned from a relaxing holiday in Lake Garda, Italy on Saturday. Wall to wall sunshine, plenty of places to visit and a delicious Italian food. I'll be playing catchup with my blog visiting this week.
The Craftlandia Challenge #27 begins today and Ayla has chosen the theme 'Sea animals' (or Anything Goes).
I have a folder with lots of backgrounds, some made years ago and never used. I found this background made with alcohol inks that has been sat in the folder for a long time, but I thought it would be suitable for an underwater scene. I layered it on a navy blue mat. I was looking through my dies and came across this Memory Box 'Deep Sea Corner' die. It's a preloved die I bought quite a while ago and forgot about, so I thought it was about time I used it for the first time. I punched out the sentiment and mat with Stampin' Up punches. To finish off my card I added a few clear dewdrops.
Prizes (given by Mia):
1st prize: Mintay papers
2nd prize: Cotton fabric (one yard)
The Craftlandia Challenge ends on 30th June. Please hop over to the challenge blog to see all the beautiful creations the DT have made for inspiration.

Hola Liz, me alegra que disfrutaras de esas vacaciones en Italia :D. Una pena que ese fondo quedase sin usar, es precioso y como fondo marino a quedado de lo mas impresionante. El troquel se ve muy sencillito pero queda muy lindo representando a los habitantes de ese fondo marino.
ReplyDeleteBesotes!!!
Perfect backing for that delicate die Liz. Pleased you enjoyed the Lakes, Maggiore is our favourite and the boat trips.

A lovely cool underwater scene and great that you already had a suitable background.
ReplyDeleteThe white diecuts look beautiful on that blue background. Great work Liz. We have been to Lake Garda several times, but that's years ago! It's beautiful over there: I agree!

ReplyDeleteThat old background you created with ink and alcohol, become a great idea for an underwater card! Looks amazing! Besitos...
ReplyDeleteYour alcohol‑ink background could not be more perfect for an underwater scene. The Deep Sea Corner die looks so delicate against those deep blues, and the little dew drops finish everything with a lovely sense of movement. A wonderful way to bring a forgotten background to life.
ReplyDeleteAlways great to use up some parts and forgotten-about dies! Super card.
ReplyDeleteThat background is perfect for an underwater scene and looks great with the navy!an. That's a great pre-loved die! Hugs, Kate!
