Hello and welcome back to my blog! My card for today is for Stampin' Fancy Friday's 'Inspired By Water' Challenge. 

To create my card, I used the new Thoughtful Octopus Stamp Set, Splash of Sparkles Specialty DSP, Everyday Arches Dies, Stampin' Blends, Wink of Stella Glitter Brush, Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder and Sparkle & Shine Sequins Assortment (both retired).

Instructions:

- Use Pretty in Pink card for the base. Use a piece of the Splash of Sparkles DSP which mimics the ocean and use a Blending Brush to apply Azure Afternoon ink to the paper to add some additional colour to the paper and layer the paper onto the card. 

- Use the Everyday Arches Dies to cut out an arch from a piece of Basic White and then use the Soft Waves Embossing Folder to emboss. Use a Blending Brush and apply some more Azure Afternoon ink to the embossed piece and layer onto the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

- Stamp images from the Thoughtful Octopus stamp set onto Basic White card using inks that coordinate with the Splash of Sparkles DSP. Add details with Stampin' Blends and then fussy cut all the pieces and add to the card. 

- Stamp a sentiment from the set using Tuxedo Black onto Basic White and adhere. Finally add some glitter onto the DSP using Wink of Stella and some Sparkle & Shine Sequins Assortment to complete the card.
