Hello, friends and happy Sunday!! I hope you’re having a great weekend!!

It’s release day for the Picket Fence Studios April Release!! There’s a fun and inspiring hop happening over on IG…I’ll pop a link to my account at the bottom of this post so you can join in the fun and possibly win a $50 GC to the Picket Fence Studios Shop!!

My card features the You Octopi My Thoughts Stamp Set & Coordinating Dies, Coral Reef Fabulous Glossy A2 Card Fronts, Island Blue Sequins and the Basic Die Cutting Die Set 1 (from last month’s release)…

I started by stamping the octopus and sentiment from the You Octopi My Thoughts Stamp Set onto white cardstock with PFS Black Hybrid Ink. I colored the octopus with Copic markers, added highlights with a white gel pen, then used the Coordinating Dies to cut them out.

I die-cut a panel of cardstock from the Coral Reef A2 Card Fronts Paper Pack with the second largest die in the Basic Die Cutting Die Set 1. I added the inner panel to an A2 white card base and added acetate and foam tape to the back of the outer panel.

I added Island Blue Sequins for the shaker bits and adhered the front panel to the card base. The octopus and sentiment were adhered to the front of the acetate window to finish off the card.

That’ll do it for me today!! Hop on over and join in the festivities on Instagram @mypapercutcreations. Be sure to check out the entire fabulous new release over in the Picket Fence Shop!!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!
