Dolphins

This is my project for the August Challenge - Dolphins at Imagine That! This is the first time I've layered an image and sentiment on top of digital paper. I had a horrible thought when I started to color. I thought the inkjet ink might run or smear so I used a very light hand on the edges. The worst thing... I didn't have that thought until I was well into the waves. I started with the waves. I originally was going to water color the image but then I thought adding water to the ink was probably not a good idea but I thought an alcohol marker was OK. :\ Halfway through that the horror hit me! lol But all's well that ends well. :) 

Here is my project:

Guess what? It's a twisted easel card again! lol

Here is a side view:

Here is a close up of the image:

I used Glossy Accents on the dolphins' eyes, bubbles and water splashes.
