 I had so much fun colouring and then fussy cutting the all the different images on this set.  I used a large variety of colours when colouring these images both from the Shinhan collection(retired) and the Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend collection.

The top image here is my version of a fish tank, and I've included the sign, sand castle and treasure chest.  I added Gold Stickles to the chest to make it appear as real gold, the water bubbles are stamped in Carolina Ink and then the whole water area is sponged with the same colour.  I then used the Clear Shimmer Brush and coloured in the bubbles as well as flicked the brush onto the paper.  The sand is stamped and sponged in Toffee Ink.

The second card I didn't want it to be as busy so I used the fishbowl and added some twine(retired) from my stash.  The fishbowl is popped up from the card using 3D foam tape and the same coloured were used to sponge the water and sand.  The mat for the card is Crystal Blue cardstock which I sanded all the edges to give it a distressed look. The pattern paper is from Seas the Day collection.
