Michael Strong Card of the Day - Friday

Here is my final card for the week.  For this card I first used a diamond stencil and some embossing paste to make some irregular diamonds on some watercolour paper.  Next I used a twinkling H2O (Meditteranean) to paint the background.  I stamped Mike's Seahorse in silver shimmer paint onto white cardstock and cut out using his Seahorse die cutter.  Then I added some black burlap and brads and distressed the edges slightly.  I placed on black cardstock and then on a Pool Party card base.  It's very shimmery in real life!
