Huge Thanks!

This is my second card I created for the Paper Smooches Picture Perfect Challenge. I discarded this background for the first card I created, but I couldn’t let it go to waste! So that’s how this adorable whale made it’s way onto this card.

This little whale (from the Surf and Turf set) is embossed in silver and then watercolored with distress markers! (Oh yes, for those of you following me you know I wanted distress markers for my birthday…and my wish came true!! Yeah!)

I think this one is closer to the picture perfect photo…what do you think:

Their photo on the left, my card on the right.
I also used my new Pretty Pink Posh borders die for the “waves” and some fun silver glitter tape for the edge. I just love that glitter tape right now! The bubbles have a bit of glossy accents to make them shine.

Here you can see the silver embossing a bit better. Love it! I certainly had fun with this challenge, Paper Smooches!
