Under the Sea with the Fishes

 

The second card that I have today is a bit different from my normal style and uses different colors and subjects from my usual. I was inspired to create this for the July challenge at Craft a Scene which is Under The Sea. Check out all the DT designs here for your inspiration.  In a search online for other ideas,  I came across some digital stamps at Make It Crafty called "Under the Sea Elements" and some fish clip art by Dixie Allen  along with an image to use as a background.
I created the card using Photoshop Elements by starting with the Sea image background called Ocean the Briny Deep and layering in the digi Seafloor with additional digis of a crab, a seashell, and bubbles. I then added in the Clown fish, Trigger fish, Discus, and  Angel fish which were already colored.  When I was satisfied with my scene I printed it on white cardstock and trimmed as needed. I colored with Copics E 39, 33, 43, 51, 53, 55, R20, 22, RV 14, 21, YG 03,09, 67, YR 02, 07, 14, 21. I added glossy accents to the shells, crab, coral, snail, and starfish but does not show up very well in the photo. I used a clear glaze pen to highlight the bubbles which you can see. I stamped a sentiment from GKD Gifts of the Sea using versamark ink and Copper EP.  I placed the scene on a mat of textured White Cardstock,  then a mat of GKD Tomato Red CS and then the card base of GKD Tan Leather CS.
What a fun card!!!

I cannot believe I am entering this card for this challenge so early in the month....I am usually doing so at the very last minute.
I enjoy all your comments. Thank you. Theresa
