Hello there!
This week's diecut challenge for Stuck On U Sketches was to use something that had to do with the sea. Since we are pretty landlocked here in eastern BC, the only thing I had to scrap was boating photos. And waves suited the challenge, perfectly!
Papers: Bazzill Basics, Worldwin, Fancy Pants, Bo Bunny, Echo Park; Cricut: Plantin Schoolbook, Indie Art; Stamps: Pink Paislee, Sassafrass, Studio Calico, American Crafts; Misc: DMC floss, Pink Paislee diecuts, Mr. Huey mists, Distress Inks, American Crafts Flair, My Mind's Eye enamel dots, machine stitching
I couldn't find a wave design that I liked, so using my Design Studio and Plantin Schoolbook, I welded two scallop strips, one on top of the other and created my own. I used scraps of cardstock to make this ombre effect. And then, to add more texture, I used the negative cut as a pattern for some hand stitching. It took a bit of time to do, but I think the texture it adds was so worth the effort!
If you have Design Studio and Plantin Schoolbook and would like the cut file for the waves, just email me at scrapbookdiva at yahoo dot come and I will be happy to share it with you.
And be sure to stop by the SOUS blog to see all the other amazing work the ladies have done using the *sea* theme. They will blow you out of the water. Get it??? LOL!
Thanks for stopping by!
