I taped my watercolour paper to a cutting mat and masked off the edges, for me this is a little hit or miss because often the water colour seeps under the tape. I painted an ombre watercolour wash background using my Peerless watercolour book using two blues one darker than the other. I stamped the jellyfish and coloured the hood using a black promarker and added a white line for the reflection. I used the Altnew halftone stencil with platinium inka gold to add very subtle circles over the watercoloured area. I added the silhouette fish swimming along the bottom of the card and used a Happy Birthday sentiment from Purple Onion. (I think they may have discontinued this one). Finally I added some clear sequins to represent bubbles.
I'm entering this for the following challenges

Lovely watercolour wash, Christine - great with the subtle stenciling! And a fabulous jelly fish silhouette!
I love your underwater wash and the fantastic jellyfish silhouette! Wonderful touches with the stenciling, fish and "bubbles". Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!
Another cool underwater card. You always find the neatest stamps. Your masking worked and the colours didn't seep under. Beautiful colours for your watercolour wash background. Love the stencilling detail.
Beautiful underwater scene and perfect for both our CAS Mix Up Watercolour Wash and CAS Watercolour Silhouette challenges. How fun to get to use your new jelly fish stamp too. Fun and sparkly sequin bubbles my friend. TFS our silhouette challenge, Christine. Hugs..
Love how you've done the jelly fish, it looks fabulous. Great subtle stencilling and the colour wash is beautiful x
Perfectly matched colors for content. I love the gentle silhouette of the jellyfish on this delicate background. I also like the beautiful background texture. Perfection of the card in every inch.
