This is my third card for the technique challenge my second for the sketch challenge and is also for the ways to use it challenge.
Have no idea why this card just popped into my head but it did and it was determined to get out.
I'm a little uncomfortable with the layers as I like to mat them and it just didn't look right.
I've also put the sketch on its side which is interfering with my OCD lol.
The pearls are representing bubbles.
I used an off white embossing powder called sea foam for the heat embossed quote and of course in my opinion the most worthy quotable person in existence Henry David Thoreau.

A remarkable card, Marg!! You created a gorgeous background using the credit card technique, and the vellum jellyfish is fantastic. The quote from Thoreau is perfect!

Wonderful with all the challenges. I like how you said that you had to get the idea out. I know what you mean! The panels look terrific. Love the blues and the underwater feel to it. The coloring technique looks terrific. The pearls as the bubbles idea is so clever! Well done with the sketch. Fabulous card! TFS
