Ocean Birthday Card for Spellbinders

I have an ocean themed card to share, featuring the June Glimmer of the Month Club Kit from Spellbinders. This kit is titled "Cast Away", and I've had so much fun creating with it.

This Glimmer kit includes a netting hot foil plate, 3 hot foil sentiment plates, a large sentiment outline die and a roll of Glimmer hot foil (selection varies).

The foil that I received in my kit this month is Opal. I am also using the Spellbinders Glimmer black/white opaque foil from my stash, for my foiled sentiments.

I don't really have much in the way of nautical themed stamps and dies, but I do have the Simon Hurley Smooth Sailing stamp/die set which is also sold at Spellbinders. I decided to incorporate the small sailboat stamp into my scene.

First, I stamped, then colored my sailboat with OLO Markers using these colors:

BG2.3, C-G3, OR3.4, R-G5

Next, I hand trimmed my sails, and foiled them with my Glimmer Hot Foil System, along with the base of my sailboat. You also need a die cut machine, such as the Spellbinders Platinum 6, to run your Glimmer platform through, to seal the foiling.

I wanted to pop up these elements with adhesive foam and also ended up trimming these elements down a bit with my scissors. I wanted this boat to be a little bit smaller to better fit within the confines of the scene that I was creating.

My sentiments were foiled on black cardstock, using my white Spellbinders hot foil. I also made some extra sentiments to have on hand, foiling on white cardstock with black foil.

For my scene, I tore some ombre paper from a paper pad in my stash to create a layer of color. The torn part, makes very effective waves, which is a bonus! I also created some 3D elements, hot gluing some netting using cheesecloth, and creating a rope from the boat to the netting, with some twine from my stash.

 

I created one final piece of foiling, which you can see at the bottom of my card. I foiled a trimmed section of kraft paper with the Opal hot foil, for my sandy beach.

I really love how this turned out! Let me know if you have any questions in the comment section.
