close ups of my project with a few TIPS & TRICKS:

to compete the under-the-water scenery, stamp different images from the clear stamps set with

clear embossing ink directly onto the background paper and heat emboss the set. 

TIP! to make the STICKER fishes pop, outline them with a WHITE gel pen.

to create the 3D background use the SEA FOAM pattern paper as base and adhere different fussy cut elements from the SEA TURTLE pattern paper and RIPPLES pattern paper, and fussy cut flowers from the mini PAPER PAD on top of it.

TIP! trace some of the words from the title with a glittery GEL PEN to make them pop!

i did the same with the fishes too :-)

to decorate the page use die cut elements from the mini PAPER PAD and the COLLECTABLES pack...

... and stickers from the STICKER sheet.

i hope you enjoyed today's post!

have a LOVELY & PEACEFUL weekend!
