Hi there,
It’s Tanja here and today I would like to show you how to create this underwater puzzle card.
Step 1: Die Cutting and Stamping
- die cut the Puzzle Heart Background from smooth white cardstock
- stamp the turtle and some bubbles from the Water Creatures set with alcohol-marker-friendly black ink
