ATC - Under Water Cactus Lace

 

Started with a ATC background water color, picked a lace that I had a lot of from a project over 5 years ago. I knew I wanted to use it like a current, covering up just a little of the the picture. Was looking for something that resembled lace and came across these Cactus magazine page with nothing but different Cactus the edges a home int he dessert somewhere. New that some of them looked like coral which took me to under water theme.  Layered them to resemble a coral reef in hopes it would provide depth to the ATC. I don't think I accomplished what I wanted but I do love it. Added dimensional magic magie from ModPodge brand. Added some sequins and since I could not find any fish tiny enough to go onto this ATC.. Sparkly Octopus it is.
