Shaded Seahorse

This unique sample removes the seahorse from the paper, softly colors it with Blending Brushes and that places it back in the opening. Again, I love the use of the Gold Foil with the gorgeous Expressions in Ink DSP!  This is gorgeous IRL!

• Just Jade: 1/2 sheet 
• Expressions in Ink (N): 4" x 5 1/4"
• Gold Foil: 2 5/8" x 4 3/8"
• Basic White: 2 1/2" x 4 1/4"

To Make This Card:

• Fold  Just Jade card in half. Attach DSP to card front.
• Cut "seahorse" from center of White cardstock. Use paper snips to release from White cardstock.  Set this piece aside.
• Ink up one Blending Brush with Just Jade.  Lightly shade the left side of the "seahorse", darkening the outer edges.  Ink up another Blending Brush with Calypso Coral.  Lightly shade the "seahorse" belly.
• Attach White base with the seahorse opening onto piece of gold. 
• Now, reinsert and adhere the seahorse into the opening.  Attach to card with Dimensionals.
• Finish with Genial Gems. 1 large for the "eye" and 4 scattered.
