Instructions: The card base is 6 x 6" kraft cardstock. Then cut the light blue patterned paper to 5.75 x 5.75". Using Adhesive Lines or Adhesive Dots adhere sequins all the way around the light blue patterned paper. Cut a piece of the light orange patterned paper that is 5.25 x 5.25" and adhere to the card using Crafty Foam Tape. Find and cut out the Under the Sea journal piece and adhere it in the middle of the card.
Using the decorative Classic Border Die cut a strip from kraft cardstock and then cut the length down to 5.25". Using the plain Classic Border Die cut a piece of the coral patterned paper and trim it down to a length of 5". Adhere the pieces together and adhere to the card using Crafty Foam Tape.
Stamp and die cut one set of the medium Classic Rose images onto white cardstock using dark brown ink (Early Espresso). Stamp and die cut 1 of the Classic Rose leaf images onto green patterned paper using dark brown ink. Stamp and die cut one fish onto white cardstock using dark brown ink. Add color to the flower images using ink and daubers. Shape and assemble the flower. Then using liquid adhesive add beads to the middle of the flower and let dry.
Add color to the fish using different shades of yellow and orange Chameleon Colored Pencils. I started with the darkest shades and simply did shading. Then worked my way lighter, layering the color. Finish with the lightest yellow. Add Stickles around the fins. Let dry.
Adhere the flower and leaves to the top left hand corner of the card. Die cut out the pre colored patterned images of a couple of shells. Find and die cut out the "Thank You" sentiment. Adhere the fish in the middle of the card and add sequins to look like bubbles above it. Add the sentiment using 3D Foam Squares. Add the shells.
