This gave me the chance to use my new Layering Goldfish stamps. The bg is from my stash and I thought the orange spots looked like goldfish. I stamped the detail portion in Orange Marmalade, then face, seaweed and bubbles. I added shimmer to the fish with Twinkling H20. After it dried, I smeared the panel with Versamark and embossed twice to achieve a shine. Bev (Texas Grammy) introduced us to Smear, Smudge & Shine during the Falliday Fest. I edged the sides and bottom with washi tape and mounted on a teal panel. I scored the edge of the panel. Stamped the sentiment on vellum strip, rounded the upper right and lower left corners. I adhered pp and panels to the cardbase to complete. Wish I could have gotten a better picture so you could see the pretty glimmer on the fish! TFL

Layering goldfish...who knew? They are awesome and your bg does look like goldfish swimming around. I bet this looks really shimmery in person...I love using the H2Os for that reason but they don't always show the shimmer in a photo. Thanks for a fun challenge!

Fabulous! Your layered goldfish are outstanding. Love the bubbles and the background with the seaweed. The shine technique looks great. A wonderful sample of this creative challenge. TFS
