Best Fishes!

I love making circle cards.

I thought this awesome stamp from Impression Obsession would be perfect for one. The image is called Seascape and actually only has one fish. I wanted two in my scene so I stamped the image twice and cut out the fish from the second one to place on top of my image. The fish themselves are paper pieced from the yellow and blue paper I used on the card. I put the extra fish on a dimensional to give the scene a bit more depth.

The rest of the image is colored with Copic markers. I sponged the water around the main image.

The sentiment is also from Impression Obsession....and goes perfectly with a lot of their sea stamps. I used the Classic Flourish from Memory Box to create the blue design on the white circle.


I used my threading water punch to create a little top for the card. I think this design would be adorable for a Christmas ornament shaped card! (Did you know that Gina K Designs now carries the threading water punch?? Hooray!)

The image is colored with Copic Markers. I used stickles (turquise and frosted lace) to add some sparkle to the fish and the water. I also added some Robin's Nest dew drops on the scene. Finally, I added a bit of texture with the bubbles cuttlebug embossing folder and a frayed ribbon accent along the bottom.

Here is a close up of the image so you can see the bottom fish that is lifted off the scene. Hopefully, you can see a bit of the sparkle in this picture too!
