The sun out front wasn't bright enough. The sun out back was too bright. I finally got a decent photo by putting the card flat down on the concrete by the pool. There's a little shadow on the left-hand side but the gold paper behind the seahorse shows up nicely.
The dies for this set allow you to either cut the seahorse so that it looks like a stencil with some pop-up sections or cut out altogether. It's really beautiful in real life.
I heat embossed the seaweed, first with gold leaf (what a mess!) then with embossing powder.
I wish I had a better photo!

It looks beautiful here so I can imagine how wonderful it must be irl. Love the gold embossed seaweed and tag. Perfect CAS design for this beauty. Wonderful card.
