Happy Friday everyone. We are starting off the month of March with the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge and for Week 9 we are creating with the beautiful Tahitian Tide. This pretty blue lives up to its name with a wonderful tropical feeling to it that has me thinking of holidaying on a tropical island with white sandy beaches and clear blue waters. I guess you could say that this is what influenced me for today's card design.
When I started thinking about swimming in the ocean, I thought about what I might find as I explore and it brought to mind sea turtles and how they glide effortlessly through the water. So, I decided to use the Sea Turtle stamp set from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog to create my card design, showcasing the wonderful shades of this color using Generational stamping and blending to create this pretty background. I added some texture to the background using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I love how Silver embossing looks with blue, so I chose to heat emboss the turtle image and sentiment onto Vellum cardstock to create the focal design.

This card is a fun combination of techniques to help you step your design up to the next level. I love how the Silver embossing on the Vellum cardstock pops against the Tahitian Tide tone on tone stamped background. To create the different layers of color for the background, I started by gently blending Tahitian Tide Classic ink onto the Basic White card front to create a soft blue all over background. I then stamped the bubbles image several times around the edges to add some texture and deeper color. For the fish, I stamped off once and then stamped the image onto the cardstock to create a lighter color that gives the impression that the fish are further back to add some depth to the design. To add some additional texture, I embossed the background layer with the Painted Texture Embossing Folder and I like how it gives the appearance of waves in the water. I added the Vellum cardstock to the card front with adhesive behind the embossed turtle so that it doesn't show up. To finish off the design, I added several Tahitian Tide Pearls for a touch of bling. Isn't it so pretty? I love how this card design showcases how beautiful Tahitian Tide looks.
