Under-Water Birthday By Nina

 Hello Ai fans, Nina here and I am so glad you stopped by so we can make this under water scene for a Birthday card.

For this card I used the cute set "Submarine Cubbies". I created the background from light blue 5 inch  5 inch square cardstock and ink blended Chipped Sapphire, Mermaid Lagoon and Speckled Egg Distress Inks. keeping the darkest shades on the edges and fading as I go inside with lighter shades.

I splashed some water droplets and lifted them with a clean paper towel to give light areas that look like bubbles.

I then used my white gel pen to draw bubbles and some doodles to give a visual texture to the background.

I stamped my little critters and the submarine on white Bristol Smooth paper using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and my mini misti.

I then colored all my images with Copic markers and die cut them using the dies included.

I backed the submarine and the dolphin with foam tape and glues the other critters with Nuvo Glue directly on the background. I attached the submarine and then added the phrase "Happy Birthday, Let's Celebrate".
