Critters of the sea at Gingerloft

Hello there and happy Sunday!
This last weeks have been so busy that I feel I wasn't at all here... Thankfully, June will be less busy or at least this is my hope.
I would like to show you the card I made for this forthnight challenge at Gingerloft.  Our challenge this time is CRITTERS OF THE SEA.

I used Tropical dolphin and colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. I cut the corners with a punch and placed it on a dark sky blue mat and made the same with the corners. I also made some faux stitches with a blue glitter pen.

I used Shells dp (Folia) and sky blue cardstock plus a swirl embossing folder (Tim Holtz - Sizzix). The sentiment is by Create with TLC and the mat is the same I used for the dolphin image.

As embellishments I used a white recycled cord and made a knot (this was a cord from the old broken blind). I punched out three dolphins on a pastel blue cardstock.

I hope you like my card and come to play with us this time as summer is coming and what a better place to be than seaside? (at least with our cards, hahaha)
