Here is what I made for my DT day:


This fantasy sea scene uses an image from Underwater Angels (one of last month's weekly 'free with purchase' gifts) and paper from the Bubbles ATC set.
I used gold and black for matting and layering and added a small lace flower  and some oxide-coloured, seaweed dies as embellishment.


Isn't the sea dragon beautiful!
