Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #167

It's time for another challenge over at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers challenge blog.  Edna is braving the ocean today and I'm pretty sure she doesn't know what's coming.

da-da   da-da  da-da...

I know what you're all thinking .... "Julie's Gonna Create Yet Another Shark Card."  Well, SURPRISE!  I went out of my comfort zone just a bit to use a NBUS stamp set of these cute but oh so hungry little piranhas. 

I began by stamping out my images using Memento ink and followed that with some alcohol ink coloring.  I did some ink blending with a wave background stencil to which I added both some water droplets and white ink splatters.  I then did a bit of tone on tone stamping to add a bit of seaweed to the background.  I stamped out the greeting using a combination of two stamp sets and then adhered the images to the card panel using a combination of liquid glue and foam adhesive.  I used the orange alcohol marker to color in the edges of a white panel to use as a mat and then adhered the whole thing to a white card base of 110 lb Neenah.  For a final touch I added three clear droplets above one of the piranhas.  As for the surfer?  Do these fish look hungry or satisfied?  I'll leave that up to your imaginations.

I do hope you'll show us your salty creations!  I'll be submitting this to Darnell's Never Before Used Schtuff once this goes live.  I've had these hungry little guys for quite some time and am so happy to finally put them to good use.  

Supplies:

Avery Elle - That Bites stamp set (piranhas and sentiment)

Studio Katia - Jawesome stamp set (surf board)

Clearly Besotted - A Little Sentimental stamp set (well)

MFT - Make Waves stencil

Altenew - Alcohol markers and dye inks

Stay safe and healthy my friends!
