This is for today's Clean and Simple Challenge, CAS77, to be inspired by the title of the Dr. Seuss children's book: One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. A fun challenge to be sure!
Today I am sneak peeking this beautiful Mark's Finest Papers seahorse (which I learned today is a member of the fish genus--who knew?). It comes from the set Flourished Sea Creatures, which will be released in August. I am really enjoying the images in this set, which also include the seaweed and coral that I used on this card.
I used the Poppin' Pastels technique on the seahorse panel, added five parallel score lines behind the image, and ripped some cheap sandpaper to add as my ocean floor.

Great card, Emzi! I love that seahorse image and that set looks super. Good job with the sandy beach and the score lines added a wonderful touch. I see you got in three challenges...way to go!!!!
