I visited Australia several years ago and took an excursion to the Great Barrier Reef. Jellyfish are prevalent in months that have an "R"---I was there in November. You can wear a stinger suit but not wanting to risk getting stung, I opted for the submarine and glass bottom boat as way to observe the sea life.
This sea turtle was cut from 2 different greens using dies by Elizabeth Crafts. I added Crystal Effects to the shell.

Thanks for sharing your memories of what must have been a fabulous experience, as well as creating such a gorgeous card. That turtle is just amazing, the gloss on the shell is cool. What a great sentiment too, and the embossing folder is perfect; I can see it as ripples or as a coral design.
