For Sandy's WTUI challenge today: WT929 – Make a Scene, Dec 29, 2022 by stampingwriter at Splitcoaststampers
I've been wanting to use this mouse ever since I got him, today was a good opportunity. One of my brother's-in-law goes diving and takes the most amazing photographs. It's amazing what there is to be seen even off the Irish coast. I made a background with two shades of blue and some white acrylic dabbed on with a babywipe, and then added some clear microbeads across it.
Die-cut a whole bunch of fish and seaweed, mostly from white and colouring them in, but the seahorse and some of the weeds are from some background scraps. The coral border was cut from watercolour paper and coloured with watercolours. I coloured the mouse with pencils, and he's on a piece of concertina-folded acetate for dimension and slight movement.

This would be an amazing scene under any circumstance, but adding the scuba-mouse is just so fun. I feel like I could spend a long time looking at this and still pick up new details.
