I had a lot of fun creating my Hippest Hippos card, and wanted to create a similar one. The Whale Done Bundle looked like a great set to work with!

I love our Effervescent Elements!

Our Effervescent Elements are so gorgeous! They are sooo pretty, and seem to reflect so beautifully and capture a fabulous bubble essence.
