Secret Sea Horses

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!
 
Hello Portal Peeps.  Gail here today.  I hope you are loving all the undersea adventures the team is sharing with Lost Coast Designs sea themed stamps.  I love the sea and the mysteries beneath and I've used the beautiful Doodle Seahorse stamps to make a picture.
I made a subtle background with baby blue embossed small Doodle Seahorses and distress inks.  
I started with a piece of pale blue mottled card.  I stamped Lost Coast Designs Bubble Background using Versamark ink and dried it with my heat tool.  Hoping for a watermark resist LOL.  Then I stamped the small Doodle Seahorse three times and embossed with baby blue powder.  Some got on the bubbles as well, but it's all good.........
I blended green and blue distress inks onto the background, wiped my embossed seahorses clean and then spritzed the inks with water.   When everything was dry I stamped Lost Coast Designs Cracked Grass stamp with Evergreen Bough distress ink, orientating my stamp vertically, and then wiped the seahorses again to get rid of any green ink over the embossing.
I stamped the large Doodle Seahorse on some designer card in shades of orange and white, embossed with black powder and fussy cut.  I used green gel pen and silver pilot marker to add some highlights.  Finally I stamped most of Carmen's Veranda Live In The Sunshine sentiment with black archival and mounted my picture in a deep box frame.
