Sea Turtle

Hello All,

For today I am playing along with Just Us Girls and Addicted to Stamps and More. Here is my card for today, enjoy!


I think it was the rays of the water that inspired me to create this card. I started with a piece of light blue CS; the color I started with is the same color as the border of this card.
Also, I enjoy the elements on the bottom of the card. It reminds me of an old shallow-water shipwreck with the rusty anchor and lantern.
I sponged the already light blue CS using Salty Ocean, and Faded Jeans DI's. I made sure to leave a spot clean for the spotlight. The spotlight was inked using Hero Arts Unicorn White ink. I used the same color for the sunrays by masking and then sponging on the edge of the scrap paper and working the color out in an ombre effect. 
The sea turtle was colored using Copic markers. I did an image search on Google to make sure the colors were at least close to realistic. I think starting with light blue cardstock creates an ambiance or overlay of being in the water.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I do appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to spend time with me. I hope you all have a fantastic day and lots of good crafting vibes headed your way.

All the best,
