This underwater reef scene was designed to provide a virtual vacation to distract myself from the snow falling outside my windowÂ…yes, it is May 17!
The focus of this tag was to use scraps To create the scene and add “glitter under glass effect" for this week’s MIX16 challenge.
The base of this tag is a scrap of blue paste paper with a debossed swirl pattern.
The seahorse is a scrap of paper created with the shaving paper technique. Original Cuttlebug dies were used for the die cuts. They were embossed with small graphic patterns to add texture and enhanced with distress inks. The seahorse was run through a crimper. Stickles was used to accent: the seahorse’s high ridges, the background of the tall shell, and filled in the gaps between the scrap of tag’s top. Once the stickles was dry, it was covered with glossy medium for the “under glass effect” presented in this week’s Mixed16 challenge.
The top of the tag is covered with small scraps. Stickles fill in all the gaps between scraps and are spread lightly across the entire surface and when dry cover with glossy medium.
The Word Play for this monthÂ’s Fan Club Challenge is TREK. T=tear, texture, twine R=reef E=embossing K=knot

This is fantastic! I love all the paper you used on your creatures, and the shine and sparkle. Your paste paper sea is really cool - still haven't tried that :(
