Addicted to CAS #137

Stephanie is our host for this challenge at Addicted to CAS and this is her code word.
I must admit that I bought a new stamp set to use for my card.  Not that anyone had to twist my arm or anything. ;)
This is a layered seahorse stamp from HA that I picked up at JoAnn's - a little Mother's Day gift to myself.  I clear heat embossed them so I could ink up the background with Distress Ink.  I spritzed it for some bubble/water action and then made a porthole by silver embossing a circle and popping up the panel.

Our guest designer for this challenge is Claire and she and the Design Team have some fabulous cards to inspire you.  The winner of the challenge will receive a $20 gc from Happy Little Stampers.

I love that stamp set, Bobby, and you have done an awesome job with it. Your sea is so inviting and I love that you set your scene in a porthole. I also just love that sentiment. An awesome take on the code word!

Love your new seahorse stamp. I'm glad you had a reason why you "HAD" to get it!
The silver embossed porthole really sets it off nicely.

Don't you just love it when you really do have to buy a new stamp set to fit a challenge?! The seahorses look so realistic and the porthole frames them perfectly!
