For today's Inspiration Challenge, Stacy chose the Aquarium of the Pacific website which provides a ton of fantastic photos to draw inspiration from.
I struggled with this challenge...maybe because I'm currently surrounded by snow and howling winter winds...but it was a fun escape to go through the site. Mother nature is a true wonder!
I went with the tropical, underwater colours from this page on the site; especially on the landing page where they used greens and blues in the header/title.
For my background, I heat embossed starfish images all over a watercolour panel. I then smushed (is that a word?) various SU inks onto a craft mat, spritzed with water and dabbed my watercolour paper into the inks until I got a nice mix. Then I splattered some Coastal Cabana for a finishing touch.
Fun to get inky this morning! I hope you enjoy and TFL!

Love the watercolor panel and the gold thread looks great around your sentiment circle. Super card and I liked visiting this site, too, in the ugly weather we're having...mostly rain for us...not snow.

Oh, what a GORGEOUS background! And, yes, smushed is a word (spellchecker likes it on my laptop)! Haha! But truly, I love the embossed starfish and how they seem to float in the "sea" that you've created. And what a sweet sentiment highlighted with sequins and the gold thread! Stunning card! Sending some warm and sunny hugs your way from South FL!
