Otterly CAS

I saw a lovely card a couple of years ago by Marika which has inspired me to create this little scene. The rocks are a combination from two stamp sets Otterly Love You and Mermazing and I've hand drawn the little stream and grassy bank.  The clouds are chalked in using a stencil and I've raised the central panel (featuring my otterly cute critter) on foam pads.  Unfortunately I didn't have some foam tape (which I thought was tucked at the back of my drawer) so I had to use strips of foam pads instead.

And here's my little guy's close-up.  I tried to get some ripples around the rocks and beads of water on the rocks using a white gel pen.  You can see it if you look really closely (make sure you have your specs on!).

Water-coloured on Langton Watercolour paper with Ranger Distress Ink Reinkers:
