52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge

For the blue background I used a selection of Distress Oxide inks (Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio and Mermaid Lagoon).
I then used a pink texture paste through the Funky Fossil "Fish Background" stencil.
While the paste was drying I used Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink to stamp the "You are my happy" sentiment, which is part of the new "Happy Words" stamp set.
I die cut the sentiment using a stitched edge die and adhered it to the tag.
I had an alcohol ink off-cut from a previous project that was too pretty to throw away, so I decided to use the Funky Fossil "Fish Background Stencil" with texture paste. I had no idea if it would take or not, fortunately it did.
I used "Peacock Feathers" Distress Oxide Ink to stamp the sentiment which is from issue 68 of Creative Stamping magazine. I then die cut the sentiment using a stitched banner die.
I've used one of the gelli plate backgrounds I created the other day for the base of this card. I then Distress Oxide Inks in the shades of Crushed Olive and Peeled Paint throug a Funky Fossil stencil called "Fish Background" to create the whole background look.
Using Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" shade of ink, I stamped "Sebastain the Seahorse" and the baby seahorse which is from a stamp set called "Sea Creatures".
Using two shades of Versafine Clair ink, "Verdant" and "Shady Lane", I stamped the "Seaweed" in the foreground.
I then inked the edges of the card using the Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" for the lower half and Distress Oxide "Broken China" shade of ink for the top section.
Finally, I used a white Posca Pen to add highlight areas to the seahorses and a metallic gold pen for areas on the seaweed.
I am entering this into the July 2019 "A Place To Start" challenge which has an anything go theme for the month.
