This is a 5 1/2"x4 1/4" card made from kraft cardstock. I then used some K&Company patterned cardstock, cut 1/8" smaller as my next layer. I cut a strip of dark blue cardstock at 4 1/4"x2 1/8" and adhered it to the card base. I cut some more patterned cardstock 1/8" smaller and adhered it to the dark blue strip. The seahorse is cut at 2 1/2" from the Splish Splash cartridge. I mounted it on some white cardstock, cut at 2 3/4"x1 1/2." I then cut more dark blue cardstock 1/8" larger and adhered it over the strip. I wrapped the card with a light blue ribbon and added a metal seahorse charm to it. I finished it off with the sentiment, a stamp, using ocean depth ink by Tsukineko.
I made this card for the following challenges:
