First, I took the watercolor paper panel and tried to do the tutorial mentioned above, but my bubbles did not come up at all. So I watercolored the background, using Orchid Opulence, Pacific Point, and Pixie Pink. I let the panel dry and then stamped directly onto it.

I stamped the sand, using Baked Brown Sugar.

I then stamped the tall grasses with Tranquil Tide.

Next, I stamped the sentiment and the small plants, using Mossy Meadow.

I then stamped and die cut the Octopus, using Melon Mambo and Under the Sea Framelits.

I attached the octopus with a few dimensionals.

I then added the net, using More Mustard and added a few bubbles with a bit of Soft Sky.

Lastly, I adhered the panel to the Soft Suede card front and adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.

Deep Blue Sea

I can only imagine the vastness of the deep blue sea. My preference of course is to stay above the water and breathe, but given the challenge of "Under the Sea," I created a dark blue panel with splotches of a lighter tone. No, really, I painted the panel with acrylic blue paint and got lucky. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Sea of Textures

   By the Tide

Paper:

   Basic White A-2, 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Whisper White Craft

Acrylic Paint:

   Blue

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Pearl Basic Jewels

   Adhesive

First, I painted a Basic White panel with blue acrylic paint and waited a minute as it dried.

I then stamped several underwater images using Whisper White craft ink. 

Next, I adhered the panel to a Basic White card front.

Lastly, I added a few pearls to represent bubbles and adhered the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

I am so excited that you stopped to read and check out my work. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Contact Me and let me know if there is anything I can answer for you.
