I don't know when I'll ever use this card, but I loved the whimsicality of Martin Henry's Catfish (third down on the right), and wanted to create one for myself.
A2 navy base. Bazzill embossed with D'vine Swirl, edges distressed.
Dienamics branch for him to lie on, and the leaves for his fin and tail.
I used a small Mega Ovals for his body, with a circle punch to punch out the curve for the tail. Regular ovals for the head - after layering the white one over the rust I cut it again to create one oval. Eyes and nose were a 3/8" punch. After cutting the wire and sticking it on I stuck the nose on top, then masked off the rust part and embossed the white area with white EP. The ears and eyelids were shaped a bit with a stylus, and the head is popped up on foam. I used lustre rub-ons to colour the green areas and the gold eyes, and also to add some shine to his body.
