'Put Your Claws Up' Challenge Card

Hello crafty friends ...

It's time for a new Challenge at Your Next Stamp - the Fun Friday Challenge #138 has a theme of "Lots of Layers".

The Fun Friday challenges come with two chances to win prizes!!

Comment on the YNS Blog, Instagram or Facebook pages for a chance to win a free stamp set. Comment on all three to increase your chances, but comments must be left by May 6th 2020. The winner will be announced on May 8th on the YNS Blog.

---More details about the prizes at the end of my post---

I die cut the YNS Wave Panel Die from navy card stock and also from the fishy patterned paper. I inlay the patterned pieces into the panel die and secured everything to my card base. Then I had fun decorating and layering. I stamped the fish, octopus and crabs, as well as adding the sentiment to a matted Fishtail Banner.

I took a close up photo so you can see that I added acetate behind the small porthole for a fun detail, and the little crabs have tiny wiggly eyes on them.

Inside, I used more layers. The white stitched panel has a cutaway oval using the Rounded Panel Shapes which was backed with a scrap of the fishy patterned paper. Then I added another Octopus and Fish, and a Gumdrops for good measure. 

Here is a close up of the inside, where the goofy octopus and the fish both have Glossy Accents on their eyes. I added Glossy Accents to the fish eyes on the card front as well, but it shows up much better in real life.

The Fun Friday Challenge #138 runs through May 8th 2020 at midnight. One random participant will win a $15 gift certificate to the Your Next Stamp store.  If YNS stamps or dies are the focal point then the winner receives an additional $5 gift certificate for a total of $20!!  The winner will be announced on the YNS Blog the Sunday after the challenge closes. Check it all out on the Your Next Stamp blog HERE.
