The background for this card is stamped and embossed using a Unity Stamp. It is coloured with water colour paints and pencils and highlighted with glitter pens and Wink of Stella. Lot of colouring involved - but fun to do and see it all come together.
The little seahorse was cut from a water coloured background and again from another scrap of water coloured card and inlaid. A Wink of Stella was added for extra sparkle.
I just love the beach and can't wait till I get down there again in a couple of weeks - for a dose of sea air and warm sunshine - keep your fingers crossed.
My favourite beach things are - shells, mermaids and sea horses. All of which are found Under the Sea - so perfect for this challenge.
Hope you enjoy.

Oh my goodness, your background panel is absolutely stunning! Your sea horse looks rather regal in front of those gorgeous shells in the background. Beautiful card!

Love your dainty little seahorse! That background looks amazing. Hat's off to you for all that colouring! I grew up on the shore of Lake Ontario - not the ocean, but a pretty large lake. I loved the wet, slightly fishy, smell of the air and the feel of the sand on my feet. Oh the memories. :-)

I had considered getting this seahorse die but passed because of the center cut-outs - now I'm kicking myself because it is glorious with the insets in shell & starfish colors. Great job of coloring on that bg image.
