The Heart Desires Challenge #14

Time for a new challenge at The Heart Desires!

Hopefully everyone had a wonderful Independence Day- summer officially starts in the PNW today!

We've got another great inspiration board for you:

Here's my take:

Yep, completely in love with the Under the Sea set from Flora & Fauna- it's the set that got me hooked (hahahaha!). Sorry- couldn't resist!!!

I've stamped it with Versafine onyx ink on Bristol paper, colored with zigs & my Watercolor Detail Brush20, then fussy cut the images. The background was created with Turquoise Brushos & framed with the Gina Marie scalloped stitched rectangles die.

The sentiment & bubbles are heat embossed in white. Can you see the bit of shimmer on her tail? A little stickles....

No doubt this set will get lots of use in our house!
