WMSC #54 & PDCC #88

Ahoy there, friends!  (Sorry, I couldn't help myself!)  I have a cute little card to share that I made for the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge.  I also used the colors of last week's Play Date Cafe challenge, but I missed the deadline to enter it.  Still, it was just the color combo I needed for this card.

As soon as I saw the sketch, I knew I wanted to make a card using the portholes from Half Pint Heroes.  I was inspired by the submarine included in this set to make the whole card look like the side of a sub, complete with fish swimming by!

I drew lines and dots by hand onto a Baja Breeze card base, then sponged the edges with Baja Breeze ink.  I stamped the portholes onto cardstock and cut them out, leaving a window in the center.  I adhered white cardstock behind the window, stamped two little faces and colored them with my Prisma pencils.  Then I popped the portholes up on foam dots.

The tiny fish is included in this set, as well.  I stamped it a few times on Poppy Parade and Daffodil Delight cardstock, cut them out and adhered them to the card.  

Finally, I stamped the sentiment onto a white cardstock strip, notched one end, added a fold, and adhered it with a foam dot to balance the other two raised elements.

Cardstock:  Stampin' Up! (Baja Breeze, Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight), Papertrey Ink (white)

Here's a look at the inside so you can see the cute little submarine in this set.

I can't believe I'm leaving for a road trip to Indiana in less than a week!  I'm trying to get some cards finished up before I leave, but with the kids home and wanting to play in the kiddie pool every day, I still have lots to do!

Thanks for dropping in today!  See you back here soon!
