Under The Sea Card Series || TriFold Card || Zig Coloring || Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #29

Hey there,

I've been wanting to make a trifold card for a very long time so when I received the new "You Are Sublime" stamp set by Lawn Fawn, I immediately jumped at the chance and took all my Lawn Fawn sea/ocean themed sets out to create this one layer card.

I also was inspired by this image:

I first started by cutting a long rectangle of bristol smooth cardstock (14 x 27 cm), and traced pencil lines every 9 cm on the long side, so that's 2 lines, to create three equal parts.

I stamped all the images using black waterproof ink (not Memento tuxedo black ink, as said in the video ^^), and masked everything so I can apply distress inks for my background.

So for the background... I die cut two cloud borders from masking paper and adhered them at the bottom of the trifold panel to create the ground. I used two shades of brown distress inks, and then splattered some drops of the darkest one here and there to give the illusion of sand.

Next, I die cut a wave border from masking paper and adhered it at the top of the trifold panel, I also masked the ground so I could ink the middle part of the panel. I used three shades of blue distress inks for that.

I inked up the top part of the panel using the same masking technique and some dark blue and black distress inks. Next I peeled all the masking elements, and splattered water on the whole panel to give the illusion of bubbles.

I colored everything using my zig markers, then stamped bubbles here and there around the critters, and gold heat embossed my sentiment on the top part of the panel. I added black dots to everyone's eyes, put some white highlights on them and applied clear enamel dots on the bubbles to finish the card.
