yellow submarine (new Essentials by Ellen!)

Hi there!

There is a new Essentials by Ellen release and we're celebrating with a blog hop! All of the new sets and dies are available in the store right now - click!


I created a card using the new set, Subbing In:

you are sublime


Obviously, if I'm gonna color a submarine, it's gonna be yellow. I created a whole underwater scene, adding layers of depth to the underwaters by way of ink blending and the Landscapes dies.

Don't you love the quirky characters? That jellyfish has so much personality!

you are sublime

I masked off a triangle when I began to ink-blend, so that I could blend it in at the end, but have it be much lighter than the rest. I wanted it to look like a light coming from the sub to see what is down there!

you are sublime

Before adhering all of the images, I splattered on both white and dark navy paints to add further interest to the background. I hope you like it!
