Paper Piecing Oceans Of Love nancyruth

What fun this card was to make! I had the idea in my head ever since I saw the challenge, and it all came to be finished this morning. I used Kim Hughes' Ocean friends set to make this underwater scene. All the creatures and seaweeds are stamped on K and co. MIRA DP, then cut out and assembled. I love this medium of paper piecing because I could have the fish swimming *through* the seaweed, it looks so cool IRL!!! The sandy ocean floor is torn paper that was specked and sponged. The sand dollars and scallop shell are cut with Cuttlebug dies out of Fabriano watercolor paper. I used chalk inks on the scallop shell. I added crystal stickles to the seaweed and after that dried I clear embossed the whol thing! I find that I love the intensity of colors achieved with clear embossing. I hope you like my card!

Wow, this is so great! We must have been channeling the same thoughts, as I completed something similar for another card.
