I die cut white and Soft Stone cardstock to 3 3/4" x 5 ". I stamped the flower image on both of the papers in the same place. I used die cut for the center flower with a mat. I colored the flowers with Prismacolor Pencils using Gamsol and a blending stump. Next, I glued the White and the Soft Stone with Black Onyx cardstock. The card base is #110 White. Using Black Onyx ink on White cardstock I stamped the sentiment. To finish, I added Angel Aura Rhinestones to the flower centers.

I stamped the seaweed and seahorse on white cardstock with Black Onyx ink. I made another stamped image of the seahorse, so I could pop it up after fussy cutting it. Using a mini blending brush and went heavy inked on the edges using Blue Lagoon ink leaving a white area for the sunlight. Then I used a scrap piece of paper to make sun rays. Then, I lightly used the blending brush to the rest of the images. Next, I used Blue Raspberry ink heavily around the bottom edge and up the sides. White Pigment ink was stamped on the bottom of the seaweed with the sand stamp to mimic bubbles. I colored the seaweed and seahorse with Zig Makers. I added a sentiment with Black Onyx ink. I used a white gel pen to make light in the water. The seahorse was popped up with foam squares. I embellished the card with Dew Drops.

I matted the stamped retiform image with In the Navy cardstock. I put it on a white card base.
