For my card, I made a 7" card. I used the stamps and the seahorse diecut which were with the magazine Simply Cards and Papercrafts, Issue 207. I only added a small amount of colour to highlight some of the images.  It was more time consuming than I originally thought it would be, measuring is not my favourite pastime in crafting, but it was essential with this card.  I hope you are safe and well.
