Lovely color combo today! If I have time, I'd like to make another...a Christmas card this time.
For my card, after stamping the dolphins w/ Memento & coloring w/ Copics, I over stamped w/ Versafine then fussy cut them. I repeated this for one more dolphin on the right to elevate him a bit on top of the other two. The image was stamped twice more but I colored only the water on both & used a self made cloud stencil & sponged in the sky before die cutting w/ the two sized of stars dies. I also die cut 2 black stars & stacked them offset before attaching the dolphins on top.
The bg was die cut & the circle greeting & a black circle were attached in the circle part of the die. Some sponged aqua die cut stars were attached here & there & stickles was added for some sparkle.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups, Copics & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Your really created such dimension on this card with your raised layers, Julie. These colors were perfect for a sea scene. LOVE that sunburst EF for the bg.
