Wow, I didn't know where to start with the sketch today - did I make the tall thin panels the stamped image, or background? After trying some things with the Funky Forest wheel, I gave up and picked up this scrap from some Serendipity Scraps that was on my desk, leftover from making some ATCs.
The base is 4 3/4" white card, followed by a layer from Provocraft Illuminations. The Serendipity Scraps were made with all sorts of blue papers, and stamped on with seaweed and fish from Pink Cat Studio. For today I emphasised the fish with some iridescent H2Os, and added Green Stardust pen to some of the seaweed. I trimmed them to size and edged with silver ink and silver EP. The fish is also from PCS, stamped with Rangers Archival Black, coloured with H2Os and again some iridescent added for shimmer. Just popped the fish up on foam and added some clear Dew Drops and that's me done.
Love the original for the sketch, that was one of my favourite ICs for looking at.
Thanks, Dawn.
p.s. - serendipity scraps are a wonderful way of using up bits and pieces of paper, and while a bit messy when, like me, you don't have a Xyron, it's a fun technique well worth trying. You'll see several examples in my gallery.

Missed this one, love your Serendipity scraps! I've read the how to, and will hopefully try it soon. What a fun idea for using scraps.
The fact that your papers are blue is another great thing going on with this card. I love blue, it's my favorite color you know...guess you know! Love that fishie, what beautiful colors.
I just love how you put this all together. Must try! TFS Sabrina, this is just gorgeous.
