Watercolor Seahorse

I'm kind of on a creative roll lately, and want to share my latest

creative project using Unity Stamps.

This is the Cuddlebug Seahorse by Tierra Jackson.

I really like her artwork, and have five of her Cuddlebug critters stamps.

This guy is gorgeous and super fun to bring to life with color. 

I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush watercolor markers to color him.

I love the saturation of color that can be achieved with these markers.    

I had a pre-made Color Burst background all ready to go, and I liked

the contrast of the unconventional colors. I mounted the background 

onto black cardstock and tried to keep the rest of the card fairly simple.     

I added some sparkly, iridescent sequins to act as bubbles, and I was done.

Love how this turned out.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Oddball jars with schtuff inside

I made it back again this week with a cute set of cards 

I made using some new Oddball Whimsical Mason jar images.

I wanted to play along with the current challenge of

always Anything Goes, but Dots and Doodles is the extra theme

if you choose to really challenge yourself a bit more.

I chose some neglected premade cards and matching envelopes.

The colors are not what I usually choose for my bases, but all

the more reason to use them finally.

I speckled the hot pink cardstock with black and white Dylusions sprays,

then I doodled a frame using a Sharpie. Lastly, I added some polka dotted

jewels from my Hobby Lobby clearance haul a few months back.

Same basic concept for this one as well.

I added sequins and pearl spray for some sparkle

on this card. I also added yellow Stickles to the stars.  

This card ended up being my favorite of the three cards.

I really love this image of the jar with fireflies (or moths or butterflies,

depending on how you choose to color them). I colored it with Copics

hoping to capture the look of a glowing fireflies in the jar.

I stamped a lovely sentiment from Unity stamps,

added a frame of doodling, and some of my highly coveted Prima crystals.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenge:
