I started this one by masking off 3/4" on all 4 sides of my panel before I started stenciling the waves in pink & orange. Removed the masking and then embossed with the coordinating folder.
This cards background was done with blues and turquoise inks and left the background whole. The actual ef is large enough to fit a 5 x 7 card, so even this one is cut down a bit.
This background was also sprayed with Sheer Shimmer Mist, so it really sparkles IRL! I die cut the fish and fins from blues, turquoise & green and added her towards the bottom so you could see more of the big waves.
And here she is in all her puffed out honeycomb glory! I did add a few clear gems (PFS) to look like water bubbles.
And last but not least...Mr. Crab! I did this background all in shades of blue as I knew it would work well with the red.
In this photo you can see that I did a bit of ink blending on Mr. Crab and then also did a bit of splattering with white acrylic paint. I love those eyes and think my 3 year old grandson will love him!! (Can also see him ripping off the honeycomb ball, but we'll see...maybe he'll be a grownup 3 by the time his August birthday rolls around. Hahaha!!)
And last photo (I promise!!) with Mr. Crab ...a handsome dude if I do say so myself! These were so much fun to make and I definitely think they hit the TROPICAL theme!

I can't imagine a little kid that wouldn't just love your 'interactive' cards, Marcia! Now if we could only insert an accordion sound chip into each!!
I love all of them, but Mr. Crab wins my heart today! SO fun with his googly eyes!

What a fun trio of tropical cards, Marcia. Those honeycomb bodies are sure to thrill the grands when they open them.
These are really adorable, Marcia! I love.the honeycomb and you've used the best colors. too. These will be the hit of the party
Such fun cards for those grandkids, Marcia! They'll have lots of fun with the interaction! I love both of the fish and their colors but that crab is the BEST! So fun, my friend, so fun!
I love these and so wanted to purchase then but the day they were released I weas not home and the honeycombs went out of stock before I could get any so I ended up not purchasing any at all, and I had a big order planned too, maybe next summer, but anywho, yours are absolutely fabulous and so fun to see, they must of been a big hit to run out of the honeycombs in one day!!
Oh, my GOSH! The grands are going to love these! I'm a kid at heart so I absolutely love them, too! The embossing and stenciling is amazing, and then with the fishes and crab -- wow! Super cute sentiments to go with them as well. I'm so glad you played along with us at Double D!
