| Frosted Designs Sketch by Ann Bacon |
As you can see, I shrank the center circle to make a ‘water’ card. Making this version of a water card was very easy to do because I used one of the cards from CTMH’s Sweet Surprises Card Kit. It looks like this in kit form:
Normally, you would put candy or some other small items in the cup. Instead, I filled one of the cups with aloe vera gel mixed with blue food coloring. Years ago, I used hair gel in a baggie with similar (flatter) results.

The card base is a diecut kraft cardstock square shape with a pretty cut outline on the overlapping flap. Part of the base was spritzed with Aquamarine Glimmer Mist. I then placed strips of different colored blue CTMH cardstock that were cut with Fiskar’s Wave scissors. On top of these, I placed American Crafts Glitter Tape and a wavy glitter tape from Michael’s Recollection’s line.
This card was oriented with the flap on the bottom to sort of mimic a sandy underwater beach. This part of the card was not spritzed with Glimmer Mist. I threaded canvas twill through the pre-punched flap and knotted it. The ferns were made using Martha Stewart’s clay that I had mixed with CTMH’s Sweet Leaf re-inker and molded in one of her silicon molds.
Please stop by tomorrow for a completely different look using the same sketch.
Thank you for visiting!
