Shark Hugs Week - Day 1

Hey there Avery Elle fans!  It's Caryn here today with a card featuring a handsome lil' shark that just wants to find love!  How are going to resist that cheeky wee grin?  He definitely doesn't want to eat you, he just wants to cuddle ;)

I've created a video to share how this card came together but be warned, it's not for the faint of heart!!

I stamped the images from the Shark Hugs set and coloured them using Copics.  To give the shark some texture, I used the colourless blender (0) and a white gel pen to add some detail.  Included in the die set is a small die that cuts around the fins so that his little offerings can be held in his hands (um, fins)!

For the background I die cut the Three Hearts die from the card base and adhered some red spotty paper from the Holiday Paper Pad behind it with foam tape.  I added the sentiment and a few heart and finished by adding some Glossy Accents to the rose and the tiny heart on the envelope.

Here's another sample using the Shark Hugs stamp set.  This time I stamped Hug Me in the centre of the bitten heart and coloured it red with drops of blood falling from it!  Perhaps a card for the couple with a slightly darker sense of humour (cough, me, cough!!) ??
