Hi friends! Happy Wednesday! Please join me in welcoming back special bi-monthly guest, Caly Person! Be sure to watch the video for all the details of this cute card, and enjoy!

Hi, Friends!It’s Caly and I’m so excited to share my Narwhal Friends cards with you today!  I love adorable critters and this narwhal set from Cathy Zielske is a must have for me. 

I created a similar card for the release in a mini slimline size.  Today, I want to share another version that I know you can recreate!  Be sure to check out my video to see how it is created!

WATCH THE VIDEO:

I first created my background by ink-blending using the Mermaid Scales Stencil using Distress Oxide Inks in Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feathers, and Seedless Preserves.  To give it lots of glitz, I used Gina K Designs Iridescent Glitz Glitter Gel.

While my background sits to dry, I stamped and colored my images with Copic markers. 

• Pinks:  R00, RV10, R81, R85
• Blues:  BG000, BG02
• Purples:  BV0000, BV00
• Yellows:  Y11, YR23, E31

I really enjoyed putting this card together with these pastel colors! I hope you enjoyed this!  Thanks so much for stopping by today! ~Caly
