Creative Inking Blog Hop - Summer Fun Whale Done

Welcome to the Creative Inking Blog Hop.  This month's theme is Summer Fun.  I had a hard time deciding what to do for this theme.  I decided to bring up something from the past.  Every Summer we used to go to Vancouver and go the the Aquatic Aquarium in  Stanley Park.  I used to love going through it and being amazed at all the Aquatic Life.  Especially the Whales and the Turtles.  This card is a reflection of those memories.

I decided to make a card using the Whale Tale Bundle and the amazing Designer Series Paper.  I wanted to make a Shaker card and decided to use the Snow Globes.  It definitely made the Shaker Card very easy to do.  I also wanted to keep the piece that I cut out, to sit behind the globe.  I like the way it turned out.  Here is the card.  I will give the supply list below.

And here is the one that I did in the Video

It really reminds me of the aquarium that I used to go to.  You can see the shaker sequins below.

Measurements for this card are:

Pear Pizzaz:  5 1/2 x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”

Pretty Peacock: 4” x 5 ¼”

Whale of a Time DSP: 3 ¾” x 5”

Whisper White: Scraps

I made a quick video, showing how I made it.
