STAMPIN' UP! SEASIDE NOTIONS WATERCOLOURED BIRTHDAY CARD

One of the watercoloured panels I created, in a bit of watercolour play the other day, was on Shimmery White card.  Mind you, watercolouring and dry-embossing it managed to remove 99.9% of the shimmer!

I used my widest brush Water Painter to apply inks in the above three colours, to a panel of Shimmery White cardstock.  when the ink was dry, I used the Seabed 3D embossing folder to add some amazing texture.  I love that folder!

My favourite part of this card is the die cut "HAPPY" portion of the sentiment.  I adhered some Whale of A Time Designer Series Paper to a cut-to-size Adhesive Foam Sheet, and used Playful Alphabet Dies to cut the letters.  How fun is it?

I cut some seaweed from a Balmy Blue and a Calypso Coral piece of DSP, and some Vellum cardstock.  The seahorse was coloured using Stampin' Blends in all three colours.  In hindsight, I wish I hadn't made the seahorse so green, but, you live and learn!  I added some Wink of Stella to the seahorse, in an attempt to compensate for the lack of shimmer left on the Shimmery White cardstock.  These close-up shots are a bit brutal, in exposing things that my failing eyesight don't detect at the time of crafting.  Please disregard the choppy fussy-cutting of the seahorse!  LOL.
