I was only 8 years old in the summer of 1975 when I saw the movie JAWS at the theater on 4th of July weekend, and it scared thee living poop out of me! So much so that 40+ years later I still won't go into the water!
So since it's 4th of July weekend, and 6/20/20 was the 45th anniversary of JAWS I thought this card was the perfect one to post in honor of it scaring the poop out of me...still!
To start off, I stamped one of the sharks from the Snark Attack stamp set onto the bottom portion of an A2 white matte.
To color the shark I used "faded jeans, and hickory smoke" distress inks and sponged it on with an eye shadow applicator sponge.
I masked off the top portion with sticky notes and then sponged on the "water" using a few different distress inks (stormy sky, shaded lilac, faded jeans, and salty ocean). I sponged directly over the shark with the same colors but used much less pressure over him.
I removed the sticky notes and stamped the swimmer with black ink, then sponged on white ink (with the eye shadow sponge) on the lower portion of the girl. I also added several white dots all around her with a white gel pen.
I die cut the JAWS letters using the Bold ABC's die set, and glued them to the top of the card.
To complete my JAWS anniversary card, I stamped the Snark Attack sentiment with black ink, and added white gel pen to the sharks teeth and eye. Then glued the finished matte to the front of a black A2 card base.
Did JAWS scare you as much as it scared me, or are you going swimming this weekend?!
Dunt dunt, dunt dunt, dunt dunt...!!
Thanks for stopping by...see you soon,
