Big Love Manatee

Hello everyone.  It’s June 1st <yikes!> and there’s a new release at Whimsy Stamps (WS).  The summer theme continues and I’m featuring the new Big Love Manatee stamp and die sets.


The manatee images were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on alcohol marker friendly cardstock, coloured with Copic Sketch markers then die cut out with their coordinating outline dies.

Copic markers used:
manatee - C00/1/3/5
leaves - YG61/67
branch - E25
tongue - R14


The Connected Bubbles was then die cut from white.  Used the negative piece as a stencil and ink blended Peacock Feathers, Mermaid Lagoon and Blueprint Sketch distress inks on an A2 size Bristol panel.  Splattered with water and blot with a paper towel for water bubbles effect.  Stamped the sentiments in black, then assembled the card onto a white card base to finish.   


Here’s a small sample of inspirations from the design team.

The June new release products can be seen HERE.  WS products used for my card are linked below.  Thank you for stopping by.

These are the cutest manatees, Trina! I love how they are swimming up to be viewed in the bubbles! Looks like one is trying to share his meal with you.

It looks as if each manatee lives in its own bubble. I like the concept :-) I love the background you made by mixing the inks and creating air bubbles. great card
