Happy Friday Eve! Welcome to another week with the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Krew! This week, we were challenge with a sketch and I decided to you Stampin’ Up Friendly Fins Bundle.

The card front is a panel of Azure Afternoon cardstock dry embossed with Stampin’ Up So Swirly Embossing Folder.

I cut a piece of Basic White to measure 3 3/4″ x 5″. I stamped the large sentiment from Stampin’ Up Iconic Imagery Stamp Set with Azure Afternoon ink in the middle. I stamped the school of fish several times using 2 step stamping with Calypso Coral and Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on the Basic White around the large sentiment.

I stamped the dolphin and hammerhead from Stampin’ Up Friendly Fins Stamp Set using 2 step stamping as well. I used Basic Gray and Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on a piece of Basic White. I die cut the images with the coordinating dies.

I adhered the stamped panel to a Calypso Coral mat. I adhered the layers to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the dolphin and hammerhead die cuts to the card front with liquid adhesive.

I stamped “you” from Stampin’ Up Iconic Imagery Stamp Set with Versamark Ink on a piece of Calyspo Coral card stock. I heat embossed WOW White Embossing Powder on the Calypso Coral. I die cut the sentiment with the coordinating dies and adhered the die cut to the card front.

I finished the front off with a few Azure Afternoon gems from Stampin’ Up Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots. I adhered the card front to an Azure Afternoon card base.

The inside is a panel of Basic White. I stamped the sentiment with Azure Afternoon ink. I stamped the school of fish as I didn the front. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Calypso Coral mat. I adhered the layers to the card base.
