The stamp set is called Under the Moon. It is a stand-alone stamp set so there are no coordinating dies.
The thing I am happiest with on today's card are the clouds. Seems like a silly thing to be excited about, but I was really happy how they turned out.
To make it look like the setting sun is shining off the clouds, I first inked them with Gray Granite ink and then used my sponge dauber to add some Daffodil Delight ink to the side of the cloud that would be closest to the sun.
After stamping the sun and the center section of the water, I covered them with clear Packing Tape to make them shine. Then, since there are no coordinating dies, I fussy cut them, but they are easy shapes to cut.
The dolphins were stamped with Basic Gray and fussy cut. A small slit was cut in the "water" so I could slip the single dolphin's tail into it which made it look like it was part in and part out of the water.

If you aren't familiar with using Packing Tape to add shine to card elements you can watch my Learning with Friends Video where I give some tips and tricks on the technique. Just be sure to do what I said -- not what I did. 🤣🤣🤣
When the card was finished, I looked at it and thought about what sentiment I wanted to use. I liked the scene as it was and didn't want to cover any part of it with a greeting, but I wanted something for the inside.
The Under the Moon Stamp set does not include greetings, so I needed to find a sentiment from another set but wasn't sure what kind. I felt like the colors, Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon, were cheerful, but also gave a sense of calm. The dolphins gave a me feeling of joyful peacefulness. So, I started searching. I found a Get Well sentiment in the So Sincere stamp set and it seemed like a perfect choice for this card.
Get Well cards are kind of like Sympathy Cards. It's always good to have a couple on hand in the event you need one. Because making them at the time you need one isn't always easy.
I kept the inside clean with only a Lost Lagoon mat so I would have plenty of room to write an encouraging message.
