I started by scribbling gelatos on white card and blending with a babywipe. Then I masked off the partial circle and the bottom and stamped the bubbles stamp, inked with salty ocean and peacock feathers. It was a bit strong, so I spritzed it and dabbed it off a bit with paper towel. With reverse masking I rubbed some Nuvo mousse into the partial circle, with a TH sunray stencil.
The bottom border is a Joanna Sheen die, cut from watercolour paper and coloured with watercolours. After sticking it to the base I added some Prills and gold microbeads.
I swiped some more white card with the same two DOX inks and blended them to cut the two wavy borders, added some white accents with re-inker and then went over them with an SN clear glitter pen. Stuck them above and below a strip of white stamped with the sentiment (blueprint sketch) and embossed with SU's Pinewook Planks. Added the Dew Drops.
Speedy was stamped on watercolour paper and coloured with pencils, then giving a lovely glossy shell. I thought about putting him on an action wobble but after two days with major overtime and two days sick, I was just happy to have got time to make a card today at all.

I love this sweet sea turtle swimming up toward the sunlight. So beautiful, colorful, with so many awesome little details to love. It reminds me so much of our snorkel trip to the turtle reef in Hawaii. These creatures are so awesome and amazing to watch. Saving this to admire again and again!

Speedy is just so cute, Sabrina. Love your bubbles and the entire underwater scene. Your prills and beads look great at the bottom. Sorry you've been sick.
