I love a lot in my life ... my family, my friends, traveling, connection, taking care of people, all kinds of adventures, etc, etc.  But other than the relationships in my life, the ocean is my favorite.  😃 💕  In a way I will never be able to fully describe ... it brings me peace, joy, awareness, clarity, etc, etc, etc.   I would scuba dive every day if I could. My love of the ocean has basically become a part of my personality.  Haha.  Anyone else relate?!   So here is my love card to the ocean ... with a ocean mash-up of products!

I mean ... how cute?!  Right?!  Hee.  I just love this hop and the fun theme!  

Because I have to admit ... I. Love. Sharks!  😍  I was surprised by this fact.   The first time I went scuba diving I told someone I NEVER wanted to see one.   Well ... I saw one that very first dive and it was love at first sight.  They are such graceful, smart, amazing creatures.  So I was very excited the Friendly Fins Bundle exists so I can have a cute shark on my love to the ocean card.  Hee. 

Are you loving that coral and sea grass like I am?!  Let me show you how I did that!  It is so easy!  Basically ... just watercolor some splotches of color onto Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.  It does NOT have to look pretty!  At all!  You don't want too large of an area with just one color ... if you are going for variety ... so just do small spots of each other.  Then let it dry & cut it out!  I love how each piece is different! 

This is the same thing ... I just kept in the green palette for this one! 

These were so much fun to make and I love the detail they add to the final card!  Those die-cuts are from the Ocean Friends Dies.  LOVE LOVE them! 

Here are a few more pics: 

And one final little detail.  After I did a watercolor wash on the background, I painted a thin coat of the White Pearlized Enamel Effects over it.  Hard to photograph, but it is SOOO pretty in real life.  

I hope you enjoy this card!  I also hope you love the ocean yourself because she is a majestic creation!
