Today we are featuring the "Flourished Sea Creatures" stamp set.

For my card, I wanted to create a vintage feel.  I used vintage-style patterned papers by Graphic 45.  I stamped the seahorse then colored it with Copic markers.  I used a Martha Stewart punch on the blue background panel.  I completed the card by adding brads, ribbon, a starfish charm, and half pearl "bubbles."  The stamps, Spellbinders Nestabilities dies, Copic markers, ribbon, and charm are available at Mark's Finest Papers.
