Hi! This card was made for today's Sketch Challenge!
I'm really excited to be able to use these new stamps from H&M Stamps. (A new and coming rubber stamp company!)
Samuel the Sea Turtle was stamped 3 times on Whisper White and colored in using Stampin' Up! Markers. I cut out the the shell and several tiles and layered them with dimensionals.
The backgrounds were run through the Cuttle Bug with the Swiss Dots embossing folder and then highlighted by rubbing the same color ink pad over the embossing. I sponged the edges heavily.
I added dots with a Signo Pen and marker.
The sentiment was computer generated.
There are small Hero Arts Gemstones in the center of the sanddollars.
The HodgePodge Hardware was colored with a Sharpie.

This litte Sea Turtle is so darn cute! You put a lot of work and time into this card, and it definitely paid off. It's really very nice and original. I LOVE it!

What an amazing card! That cute little turtle is so adorable. And I never would have known that you could color the HodgePodge Hardware with a sharpie, what a great idea. TFS!
