Well, I chose to represent “By The Sea” from a fish’s point of view.
First, I created a background using pale blue card, “Tumbled Glass” Distress Ink and a background stamp from Heather’s Stamping Heaven:
Next, I stamped a deep sea scene using “Salty Ocean” Distress Ink on white card stock and a Paper Parachute stamp. I mounted this scene on very light blue card stock and metallic gold card stock:
