Inspired by an ocean paradise

A last minute post to play along with All Things Unity #41 - Take inspiration from a magazine image.  Thanks to the DT for their fabulously inspired projects!

I was poking around my recent National Geographic issues and found this beautiful image from the waters off the coast of my own province, British Columbia.  It is part of an article called Pipeline Through Paradise.  There are some amazing photos in this article... looking forward to reading it as it is hits VERY close to home, literally.

I was inspired by the colours and textures and came up with this:

Does Unity have a seastar stamp?  If not, they should... hint, hint... ;)

Did something I hardly ever do anymore... heat emboss.  I couldn't get a good image with the {several different types of} white ink I have - either too juicy (blurred the image) or too dull.  Anyone else have white ink frustration? Any recommendations? Also, thinking it may need a button or pearl in the top left corner but couldn't make a decision so left it off.  Step away from the card Glenda....

Thanks for stopping by.  Always appreciate it.
