Color Challenge with Instyle Stamps!

Instyle Stamps has a color challenge for you to try today! Here is the picture we are using. You have lots of blues and greens to work with!

I knew I wanted to make an underwater card but wasn't sure where to start. I used Sofie, who is available in digital and rubber form at ISS. Sofie was colored with copics and prisma pencils. I printed her twice and cut her out to give her a 3d effect.

I thought Sofie definitely needed to be underwater and since I recently bought some watercolor paper I decided to use it as the my card base. I used my marvy le plum II pens and a watercolor brush to paint the sea. I have to say, that was so much fun to do. After the paint dried I covered the front of the card with glitter glue. I then cut the seaweed by hand and colored them with a dark green prisma marker to give it some shadows. I then used my Sakura glitter pen to add some sparkle. The air bubbles are hole puncher scraps I saved. I painted the corners blue and added some glossy accents to give the bubbles a 3d effect. I finally added some shells I had in my stash and stamped the thank you sentiment. I love this card, when you hold it the glitter gives it a "magical glow" that I wasn't able to catch on camera. Hope you join us for the color challenge at Instyle Stamps Blog!
