Shark Week 2026

 

 

 

Hello and welcome. Today I am participating in a shark week Instagram hop and for my card, I've used digital images from Sweet November Stamps. I started out by combining the following SNS digital sets: The Guppies: Sandcastle, Mermaid Lagoon Background Builder, Scuba Sarah, Shark Samba, Harbor Sunnyshore with Rocky, Jetty, Hopper and Manatee Mambo.  Before printing onto Hammermill white card stock, I added the Dance Hall sign to the sandcastle.

 

Once I had my scene printed out, I colored it using Ohuhu markers before blending Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink and caramel inks to help fill in the water and sand.  I then layered the image panel before adding sand dollar brads I've had for years and adhered it to a pacific pointe card.  Taking various dies and punches, I added the sea creatures before adding stardust stickles to highlight the water.  A white gel pen highlights all of the bubbles.

 

Did you know there are 400+ species of sharks with some weighing up to 11 tons.  Many shark, and ray, species are threatened with extinction due to over fishing and the demand for their fins. (Information from World Wildlife Fund).
