Relax with the Seahorse

I'm joining in with the Just Us Girls challenge today where they have this lovely inspiration photo.

My eye immediately saw the seahorse as I had just purchased Sebastian the Seahorse by Lavinia Stamps and was happy to ink it up!  

I inked Sebastian with Versamark and then sprinkled Wendy Vecchi Embossing powders over the stamping in Fern Green, Cornflower Blue and Red Geranium.  I die cut the panel using Shape Shifters: Ovals and the background panel using Bold Borders: Polka Dots both from PTI.  I added a little piece of sea flora cut using Salt Air Flora Die Collection and the sentiment from Flipping Out both from PTI.

I splattered the oval with blue watercolor ink and then watercolored washed over it with the same blue.  I added 3 enamel dots from Altenew.  The oval and sentiment are popped up on foam dots.

I'm also linking my card to:
