I started out by printing the image onto Neenah white card stock before coloring using Castle Arts colored pencils. Once I was finished coloring, I layered the image panel, added brads and distressed it using a paper distresser before setting aside. After I added the designer paper to my card, I die cut a few waves from scrap card stock using an old My Favorite Things die. Once I had adhered the waves to my card, I added the image panel popping it up over the waves using pop dots. The final touch was adding some blue sequins to finish it off. I'm pleased with how this turned out.
