Well, ever since replacing our flourescent type lights with incandescent, despite having an ott lite - I still cannot get a good photograph at night.. Perhaps later in the day I will edit it.
This is for two challenges.. TLC162 Tole but not a flower - I have popped up both the back mouse , and the red lobster at the front.
It is also for these months dirty dozen product challenge - and that is to use a button/s in on your card.. the three *wooden * poles with the *rope* tied around them is actually a button that I cut the shank off of.
Although you may not be able to see it, I used CE on most of the grass fronds, the lobster, the big shell, and the small green shell.
I used mainly gamsol magic for colouring , with a little chalk as well. Thanks for looking!!

Hey Deborah, I can only imagine the fun you had colouring this. It shows in the brightness of this scene. The cut out lobster and mouse says that this was patience at work. Love the square format of the card. As usual, you do so much more and it reflects all over. TFS It is a feast for the eyes.

Another HM fix for me... So cute! Love your creative use of the button - a button like that just belongs on a card! Love your layers... I've been snowbound away from home until this afternoon due to the lovely weather we've been hit with here in Alberta - so a 'beach' themed card is welcome indeed!

Deborah, wow, what a show stopper this one is! I applaud your wondeful creativity and vision to be able to bring together such awesome bright and brilliant colors! I simply adore, adore I say, your stamped images. It just looks like one wonderful underwater scene from Jules Vern! Plus, what a hoot that button with twine is! OMGosh, is this ever one extraordinary card. This is definitely a 'wow' kinda card, girl. That mojo was clearly working today!
