Valentine Sharks

 

I'm stopping in with a drive-by post, sharing two shark themed Valentine's Day cards.  I sent my grandson a card from this set last year so these were created just because I love this set.  (Trust me, I wouldn't get away with sending him the same shark two years in a row.  LOL!  I need to make him something different this year.)

My first one is definitely on the feminine side, done in pinks and reds.  

I gave the shark a rose and positioned her on a heart cut from patterned paper.  I embossed the white panel with a swirled cover die, heat embossed the sentiment in white onto black cardstock, adhered it to a red card base and then finished it off with red clay hearts.

This second card is a bit more masculine.

I colored him with a darker combination of Copic markers and gave his skin a bit of stippling with the clear blender marker.  He's holding a chomped heart while contemplating the heart dangling from the fishing line.  (Will her or won't he???)  The background was created with Distress inks, a wave stencil and lots of water splatter.  I edged the panel with strips of gray cardstock and adhered it to a white card base.

Are you a shark fan? (in cardmaking...not real life. duh!)  

If so, which card is your favorite? 

Supplies:

Avery Elle - Shark Hugs stamp set (I used my Scan & Cut to cut these out)

Altenew - Dotted Swirls cover plate

Hero Arts - Infinity Hearts die set

Studio Calico - patterned paper

MFT - Make Waves stencil

It's a New Year!  Continue to stay safe and healthy my friends.   _____________________________________________________________________________
