What Beauty Lives 'Under the Sea'

Hello and Welcome to today's post for
It's the first of the month so that means it's our
Watercolour Challenge. 
Our challenges are always Anything Goes but
we do have a Twist that you are welcome to use.
This month it is Ocean.
It's certainly not the weather for having a dip here in Australia
so I have gone with the beautiful sea horse
that live deep down among the colourful sea bed.



My sea horse is from the AAandCreate #137 stamp set 
I bought at a recent craft show.
I heat embossed the sea horse and sentiment in
Deep Water embossing powder from Colour Blast.
The fun then began with using Lindy's Sprays in
Tiffany Lou Blue, Glory of the Sea and
Cowabunga Copper for the sea bed.
Heat embossed some pebbles 
with Midas Touch Embossing Glitter
and the sea shell with 
Wow Chocolate Caramel Embossing Powder.
Some Impression Obsession Bubbles were heat embossed
coming from the sea horse's mouth.
Added some final touches with Rusty Patina Texture Paste,
Nuvo Mouse in Coastal Surf and Toasted Almond.
Glossy Accents on the sea horses eye.
Cut my ocean scene with a stitched die,
attached to matching card stock and then to  my card base.
It certainly was fun creating this underwater scene.

Hope you get a chance to pop over and see what
my Team Mates created and come join us this month.
Love to see you in our Gallery.
Thanks for dropping in.
