I know I got it right for the F4A challenge - Birthday card.
Not so sure about the MIX challenge - my two seahorses are identical, one smaller than the other. They are not nested, but they are the same shape exactly. Sorry, if it doesn't qualify. Anyway........
I covered the water color paper with gesso, dried, and covered with Brusho crystals, misted with water, then dried again. Cut my card base and cut the water color background to fit the base. Stamped the coral with Versamark, sprinkled EP over it and heat embossed, then fussy cut around the outside edge. Die cut the two different size seahorses, 5 fish, a starfish and seaweed. Added Stickles dots to the fish and starfish and a line of Stickles along the Seahorses spines. Black dot for eyes. Assembled.

Yes, Priscilla this does work for today's challenge..the sea horses are the same shape only different sizes..they could be nested but for this challenge don't have to be. I love how your bg turned out with the brushos doing their magic and adding hints of yellow and green to the mix. Great idea to make your sea scene in a step card.

I love this wonderful Under the Sea card, Priscilla!! Great colors and die cuts! Now I see another die I need, that coral die cut is fantastic! The gesso base gives great movement to the whole design!
Okay, I now see the coral is stamped. I should have paid more attention to what you wrote! Either way, it looks like it should be a must have.
