Swimming By to Say Hi!

I love Tubing Miles.  🙂 

I used my Fiskars Rotary Trimmer with the wave blade to create the alternating blue/ivory “waves”.

I stamped the tube twice, popping up the bottom edge with dimensional boosters.  Miles’ mask is also popped up.  I stamped the mask portion a second time, colored it, then used a kraft knife to cut out the center.  I cut out the oval along the outer edge, adhered the piece to a scrap of acetate and cut out the oval again.  Thin strips of foam boosters were placed around the edge, giving the mask just enough of a lift.

Your next stop along the Krafty hop is with super-crafty JENN BALCER!  Woohoo!  Can’t wait to see what she’s come up with!  🙂

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Happy hopping (and shopping)!!
