• create a background on blue colored cardstock with the help of the Create a Smile Ocean Wave stamp, Distress Oxide Ink Chipped Sapphire, the Create a Smile Focal Point stencil and white pigment ink
• add some fish and jellyfish from the Gerda Steiner Designs Deeply set with Distress Oxide Ink Chipped Sapphire
