Just Swimming By

Hello and Welcome.

Just a fun card I made for one of my little friends that was having a birthday.

Simple card using this cute fish image.

I began by making the background using the 'Splash Watercolour' technique.  I rubbed some Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feather and Cracked Pistachio Distress inks onto my non-stick mat, sprayed with water and slapped my paper into the wet ink, drying between layers of ink.

When it was dry, I used the Avery Elle Wonky Stitched die to cut it out.

Next, I stamped the fish from Your Next Stamp using my Misti, die cut it out and watercoloured with more of the Distress inks. I added some Glossy Accents in a heavy layer over the mask on the fish to add some interest and make it look like it was glass.  I pop dot mounted the fish over the background and added it all to a plain white card.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
