Wow! What fabulous cakes! I was inspired by the colors & tropical theme of THIS cake.
The image was stamped first w/ Memento & colored with Copics. I wanted a real underwater look, so I added streaks for the water as if the sun were playing w/ the underwater shadows. Most of the blue/green streaks were done going right over the fish because the colors wonÂ’t be quite as bright when viewed under the water. I used a blender to gently remove a bit of color on the tops & faces of the fish before adding the other colors to them. I framed it using a hexagon frame & some peach die cut corners. The faux coral is die cut out of vellum & colored on the back side using a Copic. Stickles was added for sparkle & for the under water bubbles.
Thank so much for looking! Closeups & Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Fabulous card! I agree with Sallie, it reminds me of a beautiful aquarium.
Gorgeous coloring and unbelievable design!
