Polly is hosting this week's teaparty for our very own Splitcoastie, Vicki aka basement stamper. Our challenge is to "emboss".
Vicki has a much loved Dachshund and I nearly fell off my unicorn when I realised that I could morph a sea-horse into a sea-dachshie!
The background is from my stash and I think it is a mixture of distress ink, Dylusions ink spray and a dash of Izink. After running it through an embossing folder and my nifty little Gemini Junior, I sanded the raised bits.
The mermaid and seahorse were printed on copy paper and coloured with prismacolour pencils, Zest it pencil blend and highlighted with Copics.
To make the seahorse into a sea-dachshie, I used a colourful scrap from my stash and made a body. I lopped off the original sea-horse head and attached it to the new body. Job done!
Thanks for looking and I hope you get a chance to join in our teaparty for Vicki.

Oh my goodness, I literally busted out laughing when I spied your Sea-doxie! This is a hoot and it is certain to bring a smile to Vicki's face.
As always, your coloring and background are stunning, Susie.

I want to swim in the sea that has this beautiful mermaid and
sea-dachshie! What a beautiful creation and wonderful creativity, Susie! Only you would come up with a sea-dachshie, I love it!
Dachshunds love to swim, we used to have one that we couldn't keep out of water! So your sea-dachshie is at home in the sea!

Oh, my gosh, Susie! You are so creative; turning a seahorse into a beautiful sea-dachshie. Only you could be so clever! And the mermaid is so beautiful with the pink hair and tail. The embossed background is gorgeous as are the gemstones. Great card for precious Vicki. She will love it. Hugs, my special friend!
