I love how well older Pretty Pink Posh products – like the older Mini Tags die set – work so well with newer products.  And I always love using some of the smaller images from a stamp set that are often overlooked – and making them the star of the show instead – like these adorable creatures from the Sea Friends stamp set! And of course, I LOVE a good sentiment – and Thoughtful Greetings is one of my all time favorites.

First off, I chose several smaller images from Sea Friends and die cut them with the coordinating Sea Friends Dies.

I then colored them up with Copics – here are the colors I used:

Then I die cut several tags using Mini Tags die set, layed out my sea creatures how I wanted them to be, and then chose some distress ink colors to make each image pop and balance out the card. You may notice that I tried to place some of the colors opposite each other – such as the yellow of the starfish and the yellow tag in the opposite corner, or the purple octopus and the purple tag in the opposite corner. This helps provide balance to the colors on the card.

Finally, I stamped my sentiment on my cardbase, adhered the tags around it, then added lots of 4mm Clear Droplets and 6mm Clear Droplets for bubbles! Also added a few white dots with a white gel pen on the critters cheeks – I love doing this for a tiny finishing touch that adds SOOO much!
