I have had two of these fish images from the Digi Shack on my desk for several days awaiting coloring. My two daughters are off to college as of this past week. When they were little and unhappy, the pout-y face would appear. As they got older we made a joke of it. So I think they will get a little chuckle from this card. {the second is a duplicate}
As it turns out, I was able to incorporate several challenges. First the Featured Stamper, jojot. I love everything she makes and when I saw this card, I knew I could get to work coloring my fish images. MMTPT60 Wow Fish jhg 8_18 by jojot at Splitcoaststampers
I kept Joanne's design, stuck with a fish image, and the three brads. I changed the colors, skipped the paper piercing, and changed the sentiment.
It also qualifies for Mothermark's teapot challenge #60. {see post #50 for this week's challenge} I wanted to play this week, so this works out perfectly! Forums at Splitcoaststampers

My kids went to college too, this would be perfect! I think the pouty lip is a skill most little girls master. Great colors, so bright and cheery . . . yet pouty. Perfect! Made me smile.

So cute and well done - really. Your daughters will certainly love it as it has special meaning and so much love put into it. It makes me smile just thinking of them opening it.

It might be only one fish but it looks like a BIG one - and that face is worth extra credit, I am sure.
I would not think of pastel pink and green for fish but you certainly made it work. Just so cute...
