Today's Featured Set by Mark's Finest Papers is
"Flourished Sea Creatures"
My interpretation is below:
I used the darling seahorse for my focal image
from the newly released MFP set
"Flourished Sea Creatures"
I also used a punch to make an oval mask which I
put over the seahorse. Then I used the horses mane
to go around the mask for a custom frame.
Leaving the mask in place, I sponged color all around
and stamped several of the smaller images in this set
around the cardfront.
I sponged ink all over and then removed the mask.
We have 4 New Stamp Sets Released today: Tweet Blessings, Flourished Sea Creatures, Regal & Proud, and Owl Be Here. For your convenience, all 4 stamp sets are available for purchase TODAY!
