Welcome to our Monthly Team Blog Hop! You are going to see cards from all over the world. We have a great bunch of demonstrators that love card making and you can see it in their designs. I decided to use the "A Whale of A Time Suite" by Stampin Up® to make this exciting card. It's a water globe card with real water in the Globe! That's right this card has water in it! Such a fun effect my Grandkids love this card! This is my third card using the Whale of A Time Suite and I am in love with this Suite. Hope you enjoy it!

Set aside the Circle for your Layer 4.
Sponge frame with Granny Apple Green ink.
Then set inside of the circle in Layer 1 and tape in place on the back with scotch tape.
7. Using a 3 x 4 3/4 clear zip lock plastic bag, place onto back of Layer 1 as shown.
8. (Note: You will want the bottom of the bag to be even with the bottom of the circle frame this will leave a good portion of the bag off the top edge).
9. Next Using the Foam Adhesive Strips cut 4 strips at 3 1/4" long. Form a frame around the bag.
10. Caution: DO NOT TAPE DOWN THE BAG!
11. Adhere another foam strip at the bottom about 1/4" from the bottom edge. Set aside.
12. Layer 3 – Using Sponge Daubers and Granny Apple Green, Pool Party and Just Jade ink blend colors together onto the top section down about 3 ½”. (Lightest to darkest)
You'll want to start with the Granny Apple Green then, Pool Party and last Just Jade. Your trying to get the look of the ocean!
14. Layer 4 – Stamp the Whale image in Pacific Point Ink then punch out with the Whale Punch.
15. Lay Layer 1 over Layer 3 (Do not adhere) making sure to center and bottom edge about 1/8" longer then Layer 3.
16. Add Liquid glue to back of Whale and place in middle of circle onto Layer 3.
