Sweet November July Release Preview - Day Two

Welcome to day two of the Sweet November July Release Preview!  Today we find Nalu playing in the surf with her dolphin friend.  The two of them haven't a care in the world, and are enjoying the exhilaration of jumping the waves!




I used my Silhouette to cut the card background using three shades of blue cardstock and one white.  While it is difficult to see in the photo, I glossed Nalu's tail with Paper Glaze.

To see more of Nalu, please visit Amy's blog and Nancy's blog.  They both have fun and creative cards!  If you leave a comment on my blog, you'll be entered to win Amy's generous candy.  If you leave a comment on all three blogs, you'll have three chances to win!

The stamp set of Nalu and her sisters will be available for purchase July 3rd at the all new C.C. Designs Rubber Stamps and Dies shop (formerly All That Scraps).

Addition:  As a few people have commented about this card looking like it could be a logo, I'll show you my inspiration for this creation.  One of my favorite theme parks is Sea World in Orlando.  I absolutely adore the Dolphin show, Blue Horizons!  Below is a picture of the tank and backdrop for the show and my inspiration for this card.

    Hi Tress, This is really STUNNING!!! I love how you have cut out the waves/background of your card. I swear this could be a logo for an underwater adventure park. lol.. Truly I really love how you have colored Nalu and the way you have designed your card. Very pretty and just makes you happy to look at it. Hugs Lisa G

    I totally agree with Lisa, this card looks like it could be a logo! The round shape and cool layering to create the wave for Nalu to frolic in looks absolutely amazing Tress! I also really how the yellow of her fin pops against the blue background... such an awesome card! :)
