I stamped the seahorses in Balmy Blue, then colored with Copics, adding some shadowing around them. I drew in some details with black microline pen and added some doodling around the border, which I also sponged with Balmy Blue. Microline pens are an essential tool for me - not just for doodling, but to fill in where lettering or outlines don't stamp completely!

Brilliantly done, Faith - a beautiful card. It's a fun technique, isn't it, because the soft stamping really lets you add your own details to the image.

What a fun scene with your three seahorses..they're beautiful. I like your doodling, too. I know what you mean about a black multiliner....very useful for a multitude of issues.

I love seahorses. Many happy memories of finding their little skeletons on a beach near where I was saying and the love the these delicate creatures is still with me to this day. I wish I still had that little collection. Nicely finished off with some pretty doodling.
