Digi Doodle Studios August Challenge - In or By The Sea

Good morning everyone and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge from Digi Doodle Studios. This month our challenge is called By, At or Under The Sea, so we would love to see your projects showing things in or by the sea - think fish, sea creatures, mermaids, people fishing or in boats, people paddling in the sea or making sandcastles on the beach. The list is just endless!

For my card I used the adorable Misti Mermaid and attempted to make an underwater/inside a cave effect. I don't have any dies that could be described as cave like (despite how many I own!), so I used this stencil from My Favorite Things and then cut it out after inking it up before adding it to some grey card. I think it kind of works! 

But now I know it works, I know how to use it for next time - draw round the stencil and cut out the middle bit! Then add the water behind the cut out! Don't know why I didn't think of that before, but you live and learn! 

This card is for
