"I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade"
Oh yes - being part mermaid - that would be the perfect place for me to be.
I searched my vast sea, beach and ocean themed stamps, dies and design papers but only found one octopus!!! He was too large to include on the front of the card so he is now on the inside card panel.
Stamped, embossed this Woodware image. Coloured it with water colour pencil and Distress Ink pads. Added lots of highlights with gel glitter pens.
Hope you will join me.
"We would be warm below the storm
In our little hide-a-way beneath the waves"

I'm loving the underwater gardens. This one is beautiful, the bright colours remind me of the Viewmaster disc we had of the Great Barrier reef. I aolove your gel pen details.

This is a super looking garden (I'm glad you mentioned where your octopus went!) I love the interplay of colors - they are beautifully vibrant with a subtle softness.
