Challenge #191

Theme 'BINGO'

For this card I used some fabulous vellum I have stashed away of water, the first layer was attached to the card as the background and a second layer was embossed with the SHELL BEAUTY M-Bossabilities 3D Embossing Folder then cut with Spellbinders Nestabilities Classic Scallop Circle and off set in the top corner.  I cut some leaves using various dies in different shades of green vellum and placed these behind the digi.  I just love the digi I have been given a chance to work with here called Octupus Rockpool by Jacare Hope, very different and great fun to colour.  In keeping with the BINGO line I have used for this card - Blue, Dies, Green I wanted the greens to jump out so used bright colours (I have loads of blue and used lots of die so needed to equal things out lol).  I was tempted to colour the octopus green but no, it had to be red/orange, he/she is so fabulously drawn and needed to hold centre stage.  After colouring the digi I felt the octopus was was still not being enough of a show off so used Crystal Accents to add the plastic shiny effect and could not help but do one starfish too.  The digi was cut using my Spellbinder Scalloped circle die and then fussy cut the inside - ouch, that was hard!!!!!.  I also printed and cut a second copy of the digi and cut the bottom rocks out which were decoupaged and attached with foam tape.  I did come a bit unstuck when it came to the sentiment, so decided on something which could be used for many occasions  - You are so loveable, which I cut using an X-Cut tag die and sprayed with ProMarkers.  To finish off I added some raffia net and attached an anchor charm tied with another piece of raffia.
