I made this card for Alphabet Challenge, letter B: Beach, and Ways to Use It with ghosting technique. Jayne challenged us to use the ghosting technique, so I made several alcohol panels, and then, remembered it was suppose to be spooky...I did make a spooky card, too. I guess this card could spook you if you were afraid of sea turtles! LOL
Once I made my panel by stamping waves onto my alcohol panel and rubbing off the ink, I was ready to add my dies. I had die cut my turtles from some previous alcohol panels that I had made and glued them together. I glued the line of turtles down and added green shells back into some of them. Then, I popped up my 2 larger turtles and the sentiments. I went back and added eyes to the turtles as I didn't want them swimming blindly!
Jayne, I was so pleased that the ghosting technique actually worked for me...using Jennifer McQuire's YouTube tutorial! Thanks for this challenge...so this one wasn't too spooky!

Oh, I love this! It reminds me of one of the Greek islands we have visited where the turtles nest. That blue is the perfect Greek blue.
It didn't have to be spooky AND use the ghosting technique, either on their own is fine too ;-).

Gracie, the background looks amazing. Love all those little lime green turtles! Love the way you did the sentiments. Just gives it all a floating in the sea aspect. So well done!
