Its the time of month for my DT post for Crafting Cafe and to host the blog over there today too :)
Our wonderful sponsors this month, are LEJ Designs
We were given a few fab images to pick from and I used the image 'Sea Horse'
I added some seaweed and bubbles before printing out the digi. These were then painted with perfect pearls so they were nice and shimmery. I used a green and gold for the seaweed as its never fully green is it! ;p
The space to the right was a little too empty, so I made a cute little sea horse charm from shrink plastic. I did this by tracing the edge of my seahorse image onto the plastic and cutting it out. I then inked it with distress ink to give it a faint purple colour and shrunk it with my heat gun. He got a little bit curled and stuck together, so please excuse his deformed nose...hehe...I thought he still looked cute though!

I added a neutral sentiment as this could be a male or female card. I helped the lettering to pop by embossing with clear embossing powder.
