For today's Mix Ability Challenge - Fish - I layered Embossing Powders, used Die cuts, stamping and water colored my background.
I die cut the seahorse out of mat board. Then I rubbed Versamark ink over the seahorse and spooned Baked Texture Patina Oxide Embossing powder over it. This EP has powder and bits of gold in it.
To melt this thick embossing powder I held my heat tool about 10" above the piece going back and forth over it so it wouldn't all blow off as it heated up. As it started to melt, I could move the heat tool down closer to get it all melted.
Then I inked around the nose/mouth and up around the outside edge down to the tail with Versamark and spooned on Baked Texture Deep Sea Embossing Powder to add another layer and color to my seahorse.
To create the watery background, I took a panel of watercolor paper and tapped it onto my craft mat where I had rubbed Ranger Distress Cracked Pistachio Ink spritzed with water. I stamped this fun Beach Day sentiment from Technique Junkies and glued the seahorse over the background

Your little seahorse is such a work of art...fabulous! The simple background and sentiment are perfect...not to steal the show from the beautiful seahorse!
