I had tons of fun making this card! Woo-hoo! I chose to do the shaving cream technique on my background and used the Not Quite Navy and Old Olive colors on Very Vanilla cardstock. Cut into one inch squares and adhered to cardstock. Pressed it into versamark and embossed with glassy glaze. I used my reinkers and blender pens to color the fish and cut him out. I used my versamark pen to highlight certain areas of the fish and embossed with iridescent ice. The fish is popped up on dimensionals. I didn't want to detract too much from the faux tile, so I made a small sentiment tag to tie to the gold cord. TFL!

Charlene, I love the shaving cream technique on your tiles. I have never tried shaving cream as I have never really cared for it much when I see it. Usually people choose soft colors athat don't stand out much. Your navy and olive are so perfect and make the tiles pop behind your fish. I love the ii ep touches on fish, too!!!
