Today we are looking at the gorgeous Lost Lagoon for Colour Creations Blog Hop week 33.

If you have been following along with our Heart of Christmas blog hops it was probably the only colour that I used for all of my cards! Ok maybe a couple of weeks I did something different. So this week I got out the Otterly Amazing - Otterly Adorable Suite! It is an online exclusive and as my daughter simply loves Otters and when were were in Japan in 2019 we had to go to an Otter Cafe I had to get this suite! So I had to make a card for Lost Lagoon week from this suite.

This suite comes with the Otterly Amazing stamp set and dies and they are just the sweetest little otters you have ever seen! I have made for you a double gate fold card and I cased the design from Kayla Renee and changed up a few elements.

As I have been pairing Pretty Peacock and Lost Lagoon all Heart of Christmas Blog hops I had to put them together again for this card. I have put the base of the card in Pretty Peacock and layered it with Lost Lagoon Card. The top part is the double gate fold and I have added a single card base layer to give stability on the back. All of the folds and that back have the beautiful Otterly Adorable DSP layered which is all about Lost Lagoon. Now can you see those die cut fish I cut them out of the Perennial Lavender DSP.

When you open the card you have a place to write your greeting and I have decorated it with blending some Lost Lagoon and a little Pretty Peacock in the corner and then die cut some sea grass in Lemon Lime Twist and Pretty Peacock and adding a little bit of blending over the top of the same colours. Some more fish a bit of speckles from my Lost Lagoon Stampin Write Marker and then I coloured the Otter with the Stampin Blends. Light and Dark Crumb Cake, Light and Dark Copper Clay and #300 Natural which is the Medium colour set.

For the focal point I have cut out a circle with the Stylish Shapes Dies in Basic White and blended ink over the top half with Lost Lagoon and the bottom half with Pretty Peacock. die cut out some rocks with Pebble Path and blended with a little pebble path ink. Added a few more sea grasses under the Otters and a baby otter and Coloured them the same way as I did the one on the inside and use the colour lifter to add a little highlight. The grasses attached to the 2 main otters where colored with Lemon Lime Twist and Pretty Peacock Stampin Blends. The Log that the otters are sitting on is die cut out in Copper Clay and then using the blending brush a little copper clay ink was added. The sentiment was heat embossed with the Wow White embossing Powder and the you can see the gorgeous Lost Lagoon Soft Cord!

Sharon you have created another amazing Fancy Fold card. Lost Lagoon always coordinates perfectly with Pretty Peacock and those Otters are really cute!

Diane Furniss said...

Love your fancy fold Sharon, and I'm loving the otters as well. They work so well in Lost Lagoon. Great card.

CHRISTINE BLAIN said...

I'm shocked - I fully expected you to have another Christmas card to share with us this week!! LOL. This is delightful, Sharon. Lots of gorgeous details to look at. The papers are fab (and I love that you die-cut the tiny fish from DSP), and the pearls look so pretty.

Cathy Proctor said...

Otterly Amazing, Otterly Adorable and shock, horror, a fancy fold too! You've ramped up the level of cuteness to and entirely new level with your fancy fold card, Sharon. I love it!

Rachel Palmieri said...

Always fun to see what fancy fold you're sharing Sharon. This one is a beauty and the otters just add to the cuteness.

Kate Morgan said...
