Stampin’ Up! Sea Life It’s A Good Day Card
The card I am sharing today, happened by accident. I had cropped a seahorse image from the Stampin’ Up! Sea Life Dies and put the negative portion on my desk on top of a Coastal Cabana card base, I had planned on using the card base for another card. When I saw how it looked, I thought why not… so here it is as a card. I added a Basic White mat, making the negative image show up even better.
My challenge for the day is the Daisy Chain Challenge. Daisies have always been my favorite, not roses as most people choose, so I just had to join this challenge.
The card base is Coastal Cabana with a panel of the same for the background panel and embossed using the Hive 3D Embossing Folder. It is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I had cut the seahorse from the Black Glitter paper planning to use on another card, but it turned out not the ideal creature for the card, it being black. I matted it on a piece of Basic White card stock as I mentioned earlier to give a tiny border around the black. A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Hello Ladybug stamp set is stamped in Memento Black ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock, fussy cut, and popped on the card front using a Mini Dimensional and Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I decided to use the seahorse on the inside panel. The remainder of the card is blank for a message, be it birthday, hello, anniversary, or a dozen other celebrations.
A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel from the 6″ x 6″ DSP Bright Assortment applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
If you would like to create this card all the products used are in the post instead of at the end of the post as they usually are.

To create the Polished Pink sunflower, I dropped several drops of the Polished Pink ink from a refill bottle. I then added water using a Water Painter. I keep adding until I had the color of pink I wanted. I then place a panel of Watercolor paper over the watered-down ink, I then dried the ink using a heat tool, then dipped in the ink again. I kept doing this until I had the panel covered, dried it again with the heat tool and it was ready for stamping. 
I first stamped the sunflower from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set using Polished Pink ink, then I stamped Versa Mark over it and sprinkled Clear Embossing Powder over it and heat embossed. Thankfully, I remembered there was a die for this, but on my first try of stamping, I fussy cut. The leaves and stems are cropped from Garden Green card stock. The greeting is stamped in Polished Pink ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock then fussy cut and popped on the card front. I colored a length of ribbon from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack using a Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends Marker and created the Breast Cancer Ribbon at the top of the card. Pearls Basic Jewels are added to the center of the sunflower.
