My kids love ocean creatures and especially seahorses. They say Narwhals are the ‘unicorns of the sea’ but we think seahorses are just as magical!
We were inspired to create this vibrant watercolor seahorse with cupcake liners from this version we saw on Pinterest.
Of course we had to put our colorful twist on it! We used liquid watercolors which we love for their vibrant colors. We also created a free template so you can use it to make your own. Get the free template below.
