I made this card for this week's Ways To Use It challenge. I found this stamped and discarded seahorse on my desk and decided to build a card around it. I can't recall which three colors that I used on it, but it might have Rich Razzleberry, Elegant Eggplant and Perfect Plum.
I basically found a nice piece of patterned paper, die cut it and stamped my seaweed and sentiment. Next I popped my seahorse up on top of it and then embossed my card base.
I did trim my card base down a bit so that the edges where the embossing ends are just about even. So my card is just a little smaller that 4.25 x 5.50.
Thanks for looking!

I agree with Polly, the texture is gorgeous and perfect to go with your seahorse. I love the colours you chose. Thank you for making a card for my challenge. Happy day

I'm glad the seahorse is no longer discarded. I think he's gorgeous. And the seaweed. I have loads of dies for that but only a couple of stamps.
I hear you about the ef. Our standard card size is slightly taller than your A2, and certainly all the early Cuttlebug folders required a lot of planning to get them to work on metric cards. I'm so glad it's easier to find a good variety in slightly larger folders now.
