For todays sketch challenge - The seahorse is from Rubber Stamp Ave, but I don't know the company of the swirl stamps. They are clear stamps and I didn't write down the manufactures name - cause I was just soooo sure I would remember it! Ha!
Anyway - I couldn't think of anything good to use for the strip panel - I kept trying to come up with something, but hated everything I tried so in desperation I just wrapped string around it. Sort of tried to make it look like the star fish were caught in a net, but not sure I pulled that off.....string was the closed thing I had to a 'net'. The starfish and shell were cuttlebug dies.
I also added some random pearls since pearls are ocean-y too. Since this took me nearly all day, and I have done nothing else - Why start now? LOL - back to the craft room for me!

Wow, this really is such an enchanting card to look at. You string does look like a net and your die cuts fit in perfectly with what you were trying to achieve, fantastic outcome.
