raindrops and seahorses

Double D have a water related card challenge this time around and I decided to use a die from Memory Box called Splashing Puddles that I’ve had a long time but not used nearly enough. I chose some scrap PP and die cut the background. Before attaching it to the card panel I added some shells at the bottom using a GKD border die in Tattered Rose ink and then heat embossed. I added some water colour pencils to give more colour but still kept it very pale. My sentiment is also from GKD. The seaweed is another from Memory Box and my little seahorses could be from them as well, but in the past I didn’t know enough to use labels when I got them.

The seahorses were die cut and then smooshed through some wet colour burst powder. After gluing down the seaweed I added the horses by twisting the weed through their tails and a dab of glue at the top. A little sparkle through the raindrops is all the embellishment I used. I forgot how little of the Colour Burst powder one needs so I’ve been mopping up the remainder and making a big mess everywhere. I’ll have a few scraps to use later because of this. Thank goodness for my glass mat.

I’m due to go paddling soon as it is a practice night. I’ll be exhausted afterwards but it is fun even so. Thanks for stopping by, it is appreciated.
