Stampin' Up! Whale Done Whale of a Time Card

 My card today is going to be a birthday card, I think, but I haven't stamped it with a birthday message yet. I may just end up writing it in. I used the  Whale Done Stamp Set  and the Whale of a Time Designer Series Paper.

I was inspired by a layout of one of my team mates, Karen Ksenzakovic.

I love this design because it let's the Designer Series Paper take center stage and does most of the work for you. But, I also had a helper with this one. Let me show you the process...

Yes, that's Lord Chesterfield (Chester) in action. He loves to be with his Gramma when I'm creating. I'm thankful my ink pads are closed when he investigates...I mean goes to work!

So, here's a photo of the front without my helper...

My card base is Thick Whisper White Card Stock with a mat of DSP. On top of that is a mat of Just Jade Card Stock and Just Jade and Pretty Peacock stamped images on Whisper White Card Stock. I adhered three 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots (Just Jade) and the card front was done.

For the inside, I cut an inner liner of Just Jade Card Stock and a piece of Whisper White card stock. I stamped the sentiment in Just Jade and ran it through my embossing machine using the  Seabed 3D Embossing Folder.

This is the first time I have used this folder so I'm entering my card in the NBUS #19 Challenge.

I liked how the embossing folder made the sentiment a little wavy so I added a little more motion at the bottom with more DSP.

I'm also entering my card in Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper October 2020 Challenge and 2 Crafty Critter Crazies #43.

Thank you for stopping by and have a blessed day.
