I'm on a mission to use up backgrounds from my spare backgrounds box! I used two yesterday, two more today. The background is my take on Alcohol Marker Marbling. Since I don't have markers, I just carefully drip alcohol inks onto the plastic. I added some "bubbles" with a TCW circle burst stencil and some crystal acrylic paste, and then tucked it into my background box. Today I stamped the seaweed using Thoughts and Prayers, and then added a frame rescued from a failed base when I was making an anniversary card for my sister - brushos on watercolour paper, embossed and sponged. Today, after cutting out the centre to make a frame, I added Versamark and a bit of UTEE for a watery look, not a whole glossy coat. It's popped up on foam tape, and I added some little die-cuts.
The jellyfish is fussy-cutting to end all fussy-cutting; it's stamped on vellum, embossed, and then coated with Versamark and embossed again to give it a bit more strength.
To finish, I added Stickles all round both edges of the frame, and added a sentiment from PCS stamped on faux woodgrain.

Wow! Sabrina, you made magic from your background box. This is awesome in so many ways. I see what you mean about fussy cutting to end all fussy cutting. Ha

Wow Sabrina! This is marvelous! I love grabbing old unused (and often times with me, unloved) bg's and making them new again or in some cases, they may not be usuable for bg's but for die cuts...my motto, never throw anything away! I love your jellyfish and especially those tentacles...so well done! Love your frame (your sister's loss is our gain in this case)! Love everything about this underwater scene my friend!
