Sensational Seascape Cards
Today I want to share some seascape cards using sensational CE chipboard accented with the Rinea Foil papers.
All month long, Creative Embellishments has been featuring projects accented with foiled paper collections from Rinea. The inspiration for my cards today started with the beautiful Frosted Foil collection pack, full of turquoise and sapphire blues, silver and gold and used as backgrounds for the cards. You'll see in the card samples how nicely the foils look when textures, like embossing folders, have been added.
Look on the Creative Embellishments Blog for a variety of ways to use the fabulous Rinea products.
Rinea Frosted Foiled Paper collection
Here are the chipboard pieces used on the mermaid card;
Mermaid Pair,
sand dollar, and a
shell.
The starfish and the seashell chipboard pieces have been given a light whitewash using a sponge (white acrylic paint with water added to thin it out).

The
Mermaid chipboard has been sponged with acrylic paints and embellished with sequins from
Buttons Galore's Sparkletz collection called "Sea Level" . I did this by adding a generous amount of
Heavy Body Gel medium to the chipboard and placing the sequins into the gel to dry.
The gel dries crystal clear and acts like a super glue to keep the sequins in place. This is such an easy and clean looking way to add sequins and beads to a project ( and have them hold in place).

I added sand colored embossing powder and more sequins to the background of the card for additional texture accenting the ripped Rinea foil paper.
Here is the second card today, featuring
Creative Embellishments - Gold Fish Shaker .
The shaker base has been heat embossed and filled with shaker mix from Buttons Galore.

The
Frosted Foil paper was embossed and scrunched a bit to add extra texture. After being glued to the card, I added the 3D fish buttons from Buttons Galore, and accent sequin bubbles.
