STAMPOTIQUE DESIGNERS' CHALLENGE 162: UNDER THE SEA

The Stampotique Designers' Challenge is sure to cool the summer heat as we are going "under the sea" to please my talented teammate Arwen McCullen!  Here's the challenge in her own words:
Who doesn't remember Arielle the little mermaid?  :)  I love the sea and the residents there.  Mixed with fantasy and mysticism, it's a perfect theme for a Stampotique Challenge! Let me see how your underwater world looks.   
                                        xx Arwen
I took the easy way out and enlisted the help of some "seaworthy" patterned paper from my stash to create this card.  The large fish on the right and the sentiment are from Stampotique Originals.
The stamps I used are:
Gueneviere (Amy Wellenstein)
One Fish, Two Fish... (Amy Wellenstein)

I hope you will join us in creating something this week.  The submission guidelines are here.  At the end August, two lucky artists will be randomly chosen to receive a $30 gift certificate for anything in the Stampotique "store."  

Thank you for stopping by today, and thanks, too, for taking a moment to leave a comment.  Both are appreciated! 


 Cheers!

      Jake hates the water, Corrine! Not a swimmer at all!

    Ah this is just so cute. I love sea cards and I have just got a whole lot of these DVD's for my babies (when they are a bit bigger) but that was one of them. I think I may have more fun watching them :D
