Had a bad fall the other day and couldn't make it up to my attic for a couple of days, but I'm on the mend now and wanted to make something! This is for today's F4A, I used a 2" square for my little fish panel.
A2 kraft base, stamped with a Kodomo fish and Tea Dye.
Inkadinkado map stamped on white card, coloured with watercolour pencils (I have a lovely wooden jigsaw very similar to this , which has all the sea monsters coloured in lovely pine green and red) and with the edges sponged with various distress ink and distressed. I used a metallic gel pen to add accents.
Kodomo fish stamped using markers on a scrap of distressed paper. I sponged it with blues, Vintage Photo for the edges. Waves stamped with Old Paper and Pumice Stone, and I added a clear Sakura Stardust sparkle to them. I also used a half-pearl for the fishes eye.
If I didn't already have a bon voyage card in my stash I'd have used that sentiment, but they're not something I have a lot of use for, so I just made it a bit more general with a Woodware "thinking of you".

Your stamps are both so cool! I like the map for a bg and then your twinchie fish is great with green and red coloring and the little half pearl eye...very artistic card!

So sorry you had a fall Sabrina...I'd been missing you in the challenges. Love the coloring and distressing on your bg map and I like the twinchie fish!
Sabrina I'm so sorry you fell. That can be really scary. But your stamping isn't hurting. This is an awesome card. I love the idea. All of it. You are rocking this challenge with beautiful cards!
