CREATING PRETTY CARDS - CARD CHALLENGE #60

The sketch for this month's Creating Pretty Cards - Card Challenge #60 is quite fun . . . and easy!  You could easily use the scraps on your desk to create a card for this challenge, and that's exactly what I did.  This is the sketch:

And I used designer paper, stamps, and embellishments that were on my desk to create this card:

The picture isn't a very good one (it was taken really late at night), and it looks much better in person.  I  used an Aqua Painter to (not so well) add the blue coloring to the fish, and the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush was used on the seaweed.

If you're like me, you really want the "red" in the By the Shore DSP to be . . . well . . . red, but it's actually Calypso Coral.  I'm still trying to get used to that, but I really like all of the designs in this paper collection!  And the stamp set (Seaside Shore) . . . it is just too fun!  My favorite part about it is the sentiment, "Hoping your day goes swimmingly".  That's a cute one, huh?
