 hello again stampers!

Today I made a card for the perfectlyCAS challenge #15 Repeat stamping. 

Although I like the CAS card designs, I do find them challenging - mostly because of my inky fingers! lol But today I liked the thought of repeat stamping and I had quite a few ideas swimming around in my head. (see what I did there?)


I began by stamping the fish inchie on the lower corner, masking each one before stamping the next. The seaweed was also stamped using masks over the inchies. I wanted to make the solo swimmer stand out so the word and the fish were stamped using my MISTI then stamped again with Versamark ink and clear heat embossed. I did the embossing twice to make it nice and smooth. Then I glued the panel to another panel the same size, then glued onto a card base, keeping it nice and white.

Even though we may find ourselves in a metaphorical box, perhaps sometimes we need to break out, take a leap of faith and explore. It's a big world out there but we can all find our place in it.  Sorry - didn't know I was going into some deep thinking.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
