Hence the sentiment on this card.
I used some texture paste through the wave stencil and once dry lightly brushed over it randomly using Salty Ocean and Cracked Pistachio inks.
(I am really sorry about the photo - the light here is terrible!)
I had some tiny bits of card stacked ready to go in the paper recycling bin - I no longer keep little bits usually as I simply don't have any room for more stuff - but some of the bits came in handy as I have had this seahorse idea in my head for a day or two!
The tiny die cut seahorse was a mag freebie some time ago and coloured with Oxides - I added a teeny bit of copper gilding wax round the outline and a little bit on the body.
The shells and coral die cuts were also mag freebies.
We have had some torrential downpours the last few days and although I welcomed it in one respect as it meant I didn't have to water my pots, my poor dahlias and delphiniums are looking very sad this morning, the weight of the water laying heavy on their poor heads!
Anyway, I hope the sun is shining wherever you are and thanks for looking today!

What a beautiful little underwater scene. I really like how you have used that stencil with the texture paste. Life can definitely be a roller coaster sometimes, but I am glad you are having some ups as well. Hopefully your flowers will perk up once the surface water has dried off. The soaking will give them a new lease of life - if the sun comes out again! xx
Your card is beautiful Viv and I just love the sentiment its so true..love the little sea horse die...

What a stunning card Viv! You go AWOL and then bounce back in with this glorious creation - I love it! The addition of the gilding wax really is the icing on an already gorgeous cake. With luck, your lovely flowers could well have recovered from the deluge - they really are more sturdy and determined than we give them credit for! Rather like we humans, in general.
