Water window Turtle & eat cake Fishy!

Just a quick post today with a little bit o' cute. This guy is a water window gate-fold card made with hair gel (fun to squish!) --added some Stickles to this one & so there's a bit o' glitter. I have a thing for that cute lil' eat cake graphics fishy, love his little smiling face!

Here's the inside view of the gatefold:

The dark swirly cardstock framing Mr. Turtle Dude is done with hot Cuttlebug embossing:

1. Cuttlebug emboss your cardstock
2. Swipe with Craft ink
3. Add clear (or other embossing powder)
4. Heat it up :0)
   

(A variation & more detailed instructions here.)

The swirly Cuttlebug paper is matted with white & Cool Caribbean cardstock, the main card is Soft Sky c.s. embossed with the flourish from Baroque Motifs (Versamark & clear e.p.)


The turtle dude reminds me of the surfer turtle from Finding Nemo (he's from the Silly Sea Life set) I coloured him(and his fishy buddies) with SU's watercolour pencil crayons:


Here's a Water window tutorial if you wanna try one, and a couple other gel cards: Mara mermaid floats & a Shark water card.


Hope you have the most fabulous day! :0)



P.S. Just a little note on how these gel thingers might last for you. My hair gel evaporated eventually (a few months) so I was happy I added the Stickles so there was still some interest left. Not sure how they mail, but squishin' that gel is irresistible fun! :0)
