This was done totally inspired by this fun piece in the Needlepoint site. I had thought more than once about adding the sentiment to this ( it was the reason I bought this set) but, decided in the end that it will depend on who I mail it to ) I mostly used a round foam blender to add all the ink to the "water & sky" and then added water splashes to the water end only. I don't know if you can see it but the bottom of the card is shimmery paper cut with a curvy wonky stitched border die. There is a closer look shot up on the blog here. Thanks for this challenge Brenda, & tfl.

Amazing whale! The water is excellent! Love the tiny ship in the distance. Fabulous card from your inspiration choice. I often will leave off the sentiment until I send the card, as you said, it depends on who will receive it. Great card! TFS
I do love the sentiment that comes with this set but the card looks fabulous without a sentiment too. Stacy, I have admired this stamp kit since it came out but I do believe your card outshines all the samples I have seen using it! Fabulous color!

Not sure I'd want to be on that ship. The expression on the whale's face looks like he is up to something. This is beautiful and I love the way you did the whale; that is really brilliant.

GREAT card...love the patterned well...great rendition of your inspiration whale! Love the water effect you've achieved with sponging and water splattering and that little boat on the hoizon is a perfect finishing touch!
