PHOTOS

I love the way the otter floats on the card. He is attached under the window sheet. I used an Adhesive Sheet to attach him so the adhesive doesn’t show.

The images are colored with Stampin’ Blends Markers. The otters use the new Natural Tones Stampin’ Blends Markers. I’ve listed the colors I used on each section in the instructions.

I thought the Pebble Enamel Shapes look like water droplets on the card. I used the Stitched with Whimsy die to create the stitching effect on the inside panel.
