It's Day 3 of my Stampendous Seaside Fun, and I saved my favorite for last! I absolutely love this stamp!!! It's Stampendous Seahorse Ride! I mean come on . . . who doesn't love a mermaid riding a Seahorse, right? I think it's adorable, and it's so much fun to color!!!
I think I love making cards out of ocean creatures so much because the opportunities for bling...are endless! For this card I used Frantage Glitter and Ice, and Teal Micro Glitter to add to my under the sea sparkle!
