Sparkling Seahorse Card Duo

Hello my crafty friends

I had it in my head to try a Clean and Simple card. Which is funny, because I usually don't like making them. I started with some matt coated card stock as I like how crisp the images are on it. By the time I was done, I was surprised by how much longer it takes to make a CAS card than you would expect.

Once I was done with the waves stencil, I grabbed the fish stencil and added some small schools of fish. I first saw that stencil in April and had to wait for it to come back in stock so I could finally get it. I don't know why I like it so much, but I do!

The seahorse (which I've had for a couple of years) comes in two parts, the detail layer and the base layer. For these cards I cut the base layer from a dark blue foil card stock and I love the shine you get when it catches the light. The detail layer was cut from some green glitter paper. 

As shown below, I adhered the seahorse with a paper spring. I really like the dimension this gives!

Here is a peek at the inside, with the stamped words and 'a few' more fish. Ha!
