ID: Mar19 - Easel Seahorse - ECD Smiles - Life Is Not Measured" card
approx. size: 5"w x 7"H

This is a Lavinia Stamps Seahorse that I love along with her various seaweed

I'm using a die "Smiles" 2pce set from Elizabeth Craft Designs, also available on Quietfire Design HERE 

I'm also using a rubber quote stamp  from Quietfire Design ("Life Is Not Measured...") 

Scored and folded my light blue cardstock to create the easel structure. Cut a piece same size as card from white cardstock and hit it direct to paper with Distress "Mermaid Lagoon" and adhered to card front.

Created the background using a brayer and Distress Oxides as per uTube tutorial from Lavinia. Die cut with Spellbinder's Large Ovals die set, then cut one size larger from Joanna Sheen "Faux Pour - Pad#2". Adhered both to card front.

Created silhouette images of the various elements and cut with my electronic cutter then stamped (Lavinia Stamps: "Sebastian the Seahorse") embossed with Queen's Gold and sponged with a blue and pink Distress pad. First stamped the seahorse to the distress background using the black and then adhered the cut seahorse.

The seaweed type plants "Seaweed#2" & "Zen Plant" both also from Lavinia, inked with Versafine Claire "Verdant" pad then some Distress green sponged. Adhered the various elements.

Stamped the small seahorse and turtle (Hero Arts  "Fish & Shells").

Die cut the "Smiles" from a blue cardstock, inked with Versafine "Majestic Blue" and clear embossed

On the floor:

Stamped the quote using Versafine Black Onyx and clear embossed. Cut with Spellbinder's oval die set and then cut a larger oval from the Faux Pour paper. Adhered both to floor.

Electronically cut the shells and stamped (Hero Arts) with various Distress pads. Adhered partially to card floor to act as my stopper.
