Seahorse Love!

Hello Crafty Friends,
Summer Vacation from school is around the corner....just 3 1/2 months of school left!  I always look forward to summer time and giving my son's teachers a special end of the year card wishing them a lovely summer vacation.  I was playing around this weekend with some dies I purchased a while back.  A family of Seahorses (I have always loved seahorses from the time I was a little girl) from Cheery Lynn Designs.  Here is the card that I came up with: 

Isn't it a cute family of Seahorses floating along!  I cut them out of the square of Aqua Mist cardstock first and backed the openings with patterned paper to create a shadow effect behind the seahorse diecuts.  I popped up the diecuts and shifted them to the left just slightly so the patterned paper "shadow" shows.  A touch of cheesecloth sprayed with various mists creates the ocean floor with some pearls and sequin shells.

Thanks for taking a look!
Crafty Hugs,
Jill

    What an incredible card. So aquatic in look and feel. I love seahorses, too. We have a wonderful bunch of Sea Horses at the Scripps Aquarium, and my girls always used to love to visit them. You've captured the colors perfectly.
