On this card I used Starla Starfish - Burnaby Beluga - Seaweed - You're Fintastic - Sea Floor Background
This great sketch is from this weeks Friday Sketchers blog.
The background, Starla Starfish and Burnaby Beluga are on foam dimensionals. For the seaweed piece in the middle ...I cut a slit in the Sea Floor and slipped it in....there is a foam dimensional under the top part of it.
Notice my seaweed is very colorful and the corals are green?.......probably should have been reversed ....but I found a photo on the Internet of a sea floor or something similar and everything was so colorful...I just colored away...and had a blast.
I used Prismacolor pencils and H20's for coloring. I also used acrylic paint and Jaquard Lumiere (pearl) for accents.
I have a fair amount of glitter on this card...but it doesn't show up very well.
Have a Great Day and Thanks for looking everyone!!

"THUD... WHACK..."
no worries, I just had to put my jaw back in place after it dropped and hit the keyboard... I'm ok, really...
um... I need coloring lessons...
how much do you charge???
the fact that you didn't stick to green on the seaweed and red on the coral is what gives this scene even more interest than it already has, and your blending is superb. OK, WOW.
What a card!!!!
seriously...
I need lessons from you!!!!
