DYSU #74 - Under The Sea





 Good morning all, today brings us another new challenge from DYSU Challenge.
This week we would like to see anything Sea related, mermaids, fish, sea-side, take your pick!

 I have made a card using the sweet images by Waltzingmouse Stamps Half Pint Heroes set. I was inspired by the gorgeous sea scape inspiration pic, and thought I would use my new stamps!


 I cut two pieces of card stock to size, and trimmed with a Martha Stewart double scallop edge punch.
I used Baja Breeze and Island Indigo card by Stampin' Up! to mimic the beautiful colours of the sea in the inspiration pic.


Who could resist this sweet little guy?



I coloured the submarine and the happy chappy with Flexmarkers and a couple of Promarkers and coloured in the bottom of the sea bed with some grey and blue Flexmarkers, before punching with a dotty punch by EK Success.


I added some little fish from the same stamp set, and popped some stickles onto them for some sparkle and sponged some clouds using a little hand drawn cloud template and some pale blue chalk ink.

Here are our generous sponsors for this week:

Oh my goodness. This is so adorable. I have been reading your blog for a few months now, and the thing that strikes me about your incredible talent is how versatile you are. You can span any style, and it is always such a treat for me when I stop by....I never know what I will find...but the one constant is that it will be amazing.
