I needed to make a fish card for a co-worker so I found this from Vicky Gould's gallery: Fishy Friends_vg by Vicky Gould at Splitcoaststampers
I changed more than 2 things, but the idea is still there. I started with olive bazzill cs as the base. I cut different size strips rather than crooked ones and ran them through the CB Bubbles folder. I stamped the fish with black stazon onto watercolor paper and used my primascolor pencils with blending stumps and mineral spirits on all image. I also stamped itty bitty backgrounds and also stamped the bottoms of the octopus to make it look like seaweed like Vicky. (Great idea BTW) I also used my 2 way glue and used diamond dust on all images including the seaweed to give it more sparkle. I then added mini googlie eyes to the small fish and one big googlie to the larger one. I also added mini self adhesive pearls for the bubbles. I then layered with the olive bazzill cs for the frame.
I couldn't get the right lighting on the orange fish, that's why it looks like it's not colored on the bottom.
TFL!
