FRIDAY, March 11, 2011-Fish You Were Here
I sponged my card with SU Bashful Blue. I stamped the fish twice, colored with copic's. and cut it out. On the other stamped fish I just colored the side fins and cut them out. I paper pieced them and used pop-ups for a more 3-D look.I used Desert Sand in Memento for the sea bottom. The coral is made from M.S. branch punch , trimmed to make it look like coral. The bubbles in this card I made using a template, I made with two different sized hole punches. I then sponged with Bashful blue and added a little white gel pen for highlights. The card stock is MFP. The images are clickable for a larger view.



This card is made using pretty much the same just a different look. The bubbles I think are called rain drops. The DP is Basic Grey and card stock is MFP. I used nestabilities for the circle and the shell. Cuttlebug folder is Tiny bubbles.


Hope you can check out the fabulous samples the rest of the team has......
