I had so much fun coloring these stamps...just have a look!

- Stamp the Seaweed and three Seahorses on white cardstock with black ink. Starting with the Seaweed, add dark green as shown.
- Add a lighter shade of green as displayed in the photo.
- With a light yellow color, add color to the tips of the Seaweed.
- Dip a paper blending stub on the Gamsol sponge. and then use small circles to blend the green and yellow colors together.
- Your Seaweed should look like this photo.
- On the Seahorses, add a light peach/skin toned color as shown.
- Clean you paper blending stub and then dip on the Gamsol sponge and blend in.
- Add a light brown color as shown.
- Blend the light brown color.
- Using a rose colored PITT Pastel pencil, add color as shown.
- With a dry paper blending stub, blend the color, carrying the rose color into the light brown as shown.
- Color the remaining two Seahorses using the steps above.
- Fussy cut all four items.
- Put your card front together and then stamp the Seaweed where you want it. This will provide a shadow.
- Add in the first Seahorse for shadow.
- Then place the second Seahorse for shadow.
- Finally, place the third Seahorse shadow.
- Using foam adhesive, add in the fussy cut images directly on top of the 'shadow' stamped images.
- With a black Distress Marker use the brush edge and go over the "hugs, wishes, and kisses" text.
- Stamp the sentiment to the bottom left corner.
