This is such a fun challenge - Summer MIX with sparkle. And, of course, that shouted ocean to me. I did a Brusho background, then stamped the script and the coral. Covered the coral with clear stickles. Fussy cut the shells from DP, ran brown ink around the outside edges and formed with a stylus. Cut two seahorses from glitter CS and colored their backs and eyes. Assembled the pieces and glued to a coral mat and white base. As I was assembling the pieces a drop of glue fell on the stamped script and ruined a portion. What's funny about this is that I bought a Misti and this was the first time I used it. I was thrilled that it came out so perfectly. Seems I'm able to mess up stamping no matter what I do. I spent an hour trying to figure out how I could cover the blurred mess. Finally came up with two pieces of jute trim - good news is I like it better with the jute.

Clever way to cover! That alone is a special talent! WOW on the colors and seascape, Priscilla! Now if only there was a way to put your entire gallery into my favorites! Love the vibrant background!

Never would've guessed the jute was about covering a boo boo. Looks like you intended all along to have it there. Love it when those things work out. Wonderful mix card!

Oh - how I love this little ocean scene. My second favourite sea creature (after mermaids) are seahorses and leafy sea dragons. When I was kid on holidays at the coast you used to be able to find the remains of seahorses - bleached white - and I used to collect them. I have since visited a seahorse "farm" in Tasmania where they breed them for the aquarium market - and spent hours looking at them - they are fascinating little creatures. Creative "boo boo" cover up too. Love all your ocean themed cards.
