I missed out on the MIX challenge yesterday - I had started this mid-afternoon and didn't see my way to making it yellow. So it's one of My Own MIX cards, as I did focus on using several mediums. I started by stamping the image on watercolour paper (and again to get the second seahorse to die-cut. I used wax crayon as a resist for the jellyfish, and used Couleur d'Art pencils for the small seahorses. Then I used about four colours of Twinkling H2O for the sea, and added some purple along the jellyfish tentacles. The large seahorse was coloured with Inktense pencils, and has SN clear glitter pen over the back edge of his body. For the wings, I painted them with one of the iridescent/interference twinks, and then added Stickles over that. Swiped the edges with gold ink and used the SN clear glitter pen over the border. Nuvo Sparkle Drops in silver on all the bubbles in the water. I embossed and sanded the base layer, and then stuck on a few assorted shaker elements/sequins. Image panel popped up on foam.

Such a pretty card! I love ocean related cards, and this one is so unique. Reading your description, you put a lot of work and finishing touches on it, but the final effect looks effortless - truly a work of art!
