Summer Design Challenge, Water You Up To?

Everyone who knows me knows that I adore swimming so this set by Kim Hughes is a must have! I used the set *Ocean Friends* to create my watery greeting card! After stamping the waves at the top, I masked the seaweed and sea creatures and used vivid colors of my markers to color them. I then used a versamark pen and clear embossed them. I sponged in my water using various shades of blue, and then clear embossed the whole piece to really give the look of an underwater scene. I then added the tiniest bits of liquid applique at the tops of my waves to create seafoam!! The scene is layered on a cuttlebugged piece, I added the greeting and a bright sun to complete my card. I stamped the face from the jellyfish on the sun to add whimsy, and ringed it with yellow stickles. I hope you like it!
