Seriously Cute Oh Whale Cards

I'll admit, I wasn't sold on the Oh Whale stamp set when I first saw it, but it has really grown on me.  I'm going to try very hard not to bombard you with too many samples with this stamp set.

One of the things I love about this set is that it has images and phrases that coodinate.  You can use it for so many occasions!  My first card is a very clean & simple Valentine's Day card.

Another great thing about this set is that there is a matching clearlits
die that will cut out the whale image for you!  How cool is that?

For the waves, I used the Jumbo Oh, Wave wheel by rolling it across Pacific Point ink pad onto Marina Mist card stock.  Then I enhanced the waves with Dazzling Details.  A little hint....the dazzling details takes a little bit of time to dry, so you might want to save this step for the very end after everything has been put together.

The Whisper White card stock was embossed using the Big Shot and the Cloudy Day Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I stamped the hearts first, then did my embossing to avoid covering them up.
