The Inspiration Challenge today is a visit to the Beach House Pinterest Board of Mokrissy II. Wonderful site to browse - I picked this for my inspiration and decided I loved the whole of it, including the blue of the sea life, so I stenciled the ocean waves going up to match the whimsy of my blue lobster's!! Just a little fun. Added the sentiment, some cupped mini sequins and a few gems.

Wow what a gorgeous card. i laugh when I think how I would have made horizontal waves, colored the lobsters red, been stumped for a sentiment, and never would have used a single sequin........made a dud card, in other words. Yours is unique, fun and impressively artistic, especially with the placement of sequins.

The hint of water with the vertical stencil is design genius...less is more. I love how that looks. The monochromatic blue is lovely and your lobsters and sentiment are so cute. Top it off with perfectly placed bling and you have a fantastic card. Into my favs.

Love how you used a stencil to emulate waves....and beautifully sponged too, Kia. The two lobsters certainly make one think of the NE coast of North America.

Wonderful way to do the bg and I love how the sentiment matches the bg and the dies. Wonderfully done and into my faves. Hugz

So unique and love that you used blue lobsters instead of the octopus from the inspiration piece.
