I had made this card for a paper piecing challenge and think it fits Steph's and Stamp Muse's challenge today too! I chose this as my inspiration Sealife Growth Chart for my bubbly underwater scene. Using Kim Hughes *Ocean Friends* I stamped my creatures and seaweeds on K and Co Mira designer paper and cut away. I assembled my scene and it was great to have the fish swimming THROUGH the seaweed. The sandy bottom is torn creamy caramel paper that has been speckled and sponged. The background started out as white, and I sponged it blue with chalk ink. The sand dollars and scallop shell are cuttlebug dies using Fabriano watercolor paper. I added stickles to the seaweed and the scallop shell because, well, you know, I just love the sparkle! I clear embossed the completed scene two times to give it a glassy and watery look. I think this is the most favorite card I have made and I definitely get a giggle every time I look at it! I hope you like it too!!

This is beautifully done, great colors and love it in the long card. I have always wanted to do a card like this, but mine would never look as good as this!!
