Over and Under the Sea Flip Card

Hi there,

StampTV is having a challenge this week to use water in a creation. This took me a while to complete.

Stamp sets: Oh, Boy; Quite a Catch; Under the Sea - all by Gina K. Designs
Copic Markers
3D Crystal Lacquer
MS glitters; Gina K. diamonds glitter
Aileen's Clear Tacky Glue
WOW embossing powders
Sizzix / SU label flip it die, with words "hi" and "I♥U" and labels from same die set
SU label punch
Marvy large vase punch
White Gel Pen Signo
Sakura glitter pens
Stickles Diamond
Googly eyes
Paper and cardstock Gina K. Designs


The front of the card has images from the Oh Boy stamp set. I colored them, fussy cut, dipped in covered with clear glue, then glittered, dried and covered with 3D Crystal Lacquer over all of that, let dry again. Even the ocean is colored, covered with 3D Crystal Lacquer and edged with Stickles diamonds. It's hard to tell but that is a whale on the left side with 2 googly eyes. I just cut out the 3 fish and covered them with glitter then Crystal Lacquer.

The back of the card has images from both Quite a Catch and Under the Sea sets. I blended Copic colors onto the three main fishes, then heat embossed the yellow fish and green sea weed. The three bigger fish (includes the star fish) all are covered with 3D Crystal Lacquer. They are pop dotted up.

I loved the sentiment from Quite a Catch set but didn't know where to put it. So I cut it out with a Marvy large vase punch, turned it upside down and trimmed it into a large drop of water. I drew the fish hook with a worm wrapped around it, covered those with Sakura glitter pens, and covered it all with more 3D Crystal Laquer (am running low on this now :)

Some of the little bubbles on the paper also have Crystal Laquer for dimension and texture.

First time for a FLIP card. I purchased the circle and the label flip it dies from SU. This is the circle. I will say that when I make anymore of these, I will just pre-adhere the pattern papers to the card base because cutting out each custom layers is TOOOOO hard (slaps forehead)!

Cardstock, pattern papers and stamp set by Gina K. Designs, "Strength and Hope, designed by Theresa Momber.

It was a very fun card in that I combined different techniques that I don't use all the time --  RECIPE is a bit complex, but will explain the details and how to's:

The focal butterfly was stamped in VersaMark then brushed Perfect Pearls in Pink, Blue (which combined to purples), and gold for the ribbon in the middle of the butterfly. The colors are iridescent and change as you move the card!!! I covered the ribbon with 3D Crystal Lacquer for soft, epoxy like finish. There's a pink rhinestone hidden in the center of the lacquer ribbon.

Below the focal image is a Quilled Butterfly :) with 2 mini pink rhinestones for antennae.

In the top right of the front card you will see a pink glitter ribbon. That started out stamped in Tuxedo Black ink - the large ribbon stamp from the set, then fussy cut it out. I used a paint brush and covered the top with Mod Podge, sprinkled pink glitter and dried. Then I took a black marker and covered the edges of the ribbon to really pop the pink glitter up. I covered the entire pink glitter ribbon with 3D Crystal Lacquer so it's clear, shiny and raised up. It's EASY to make your own embellishments.

The sentiments are stamped in Delicatta Gold Ink. They stay gold and glittery. The back of the card has 3 pink rhinestones in the upper left corner and the word "HOPE", and another 3 tiny pink rhinestones beneath it.

I added white gel pen stitching and dots all around the margins.

Another difficult part of this card was to line the pattern papers up the right way because there is a right side up on both papers. I messed that up the first time - we can't have upside hearts or mis-matched patterns, can we?

I do love this card. When you pull or push the sides, the center circle with the butterfly and word "Hope" flip around. You can have up to four different scenes depending on how you fold and set the card down!!!

I don't want to lose any more friends to cancer, and this month we highlight and encourage everyone to keep checking - you never know when you might feel or see something not quite right. GET IT CHECKED! This includes MEN.
