Octopus Adventures | Jillibean Soup



The Octopus clear stamp and die set from Jillibean Soup is such a fun set for creating great underwater scenes. This card and process video were posted on the Jillibean Soup Bean Talk blog a couple weeks ago.

I created my underwater background by first embossing some bubbles in white on Bristol Smooth cardstock. Next I sponged the background using Salty Ocean and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Inks. Then I flicked some clean water on to the panel and picked up some of the ink with a paper towel. Once the background was done I set it aside to dry.  All of the images were clear embossed in Versafine Onyx Black and watercoloured with ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then adhered with adhesive or foam tape.
