Whale Hello There

I'm sliding in just under the wire with this sweet, simple card for the current sketch at CAS(e)  this Sketch.  I went with a mostly monochromatic color scheme on this ocean themed design.

The whale duo is from the Clear and Simple Stamps Seaside Sentiments 1 set.  I stamped them in blue pigment ink, then carefully cut them out.  The eyes were dotted with a bit of a gray Pico Embellisher for contrast.  I used foam tape to adhere the whales to a light blue card base with a wavy edged panel along the bottom.  The waves were made with two different sized circle punches.  The set's "whale, hello there" sentiment was stamped above the whales in blue.  I felt like the design was missing something, so I stamped a trio of teeny, tiny red hearts from the Taglines:  Critters stamp set between the whales in contrasting red pigment ink.  The little pops of red were just enough to finish the design!
