My card for this week's Splitcoast Stampers Inspiration Challenge was inspired by this Whales Shower Curtain from Urban Outfitters ... I love whales, and I loved the ombre color too.
I sorted through my cardstock stash and found four shades of teal blue to begin my design. Next I added some washi tape, a wrap of twine and some border-punched waves.
I finished with a little whale stamp from Yellow Owl Workshop and a banner die cut & coordinating sentiment from Simon Says Stamp.

Stephanie, this is beautiful. Love the shades of aqua thru teal that you chose for the gradated colors of the sea for your whale. The band of heart DP adds fun and the realistic whale stamp is a nice contrast.
