Today's Inspiration Challenge took us to Xenia Taler's web site. I chose this for my inspiration: http://www.xeniataler.com/index.php?...products_id=94
I realize that my High Hopes goldfish is a bit whimsical for this gorgeous tile, but I went with it anyway! The white paper has sparkle in it, but it doesn't show in the photo. To make the bubbles, I first stamped them in Craft White, then with a blender pen filled them in. Then using a stamp-a-ma-jig, I overstamped with Soft Sky to give it the slightly darker surround. The Ocean Tides cardstock was sponged with Blue Bayou.
Thanks for looking!

Love love this. Your fish is adorable and fancy too. DD had a "Goldie" gold fish, loved to float on his back. We would always think he was dead, but after rubbing his belly he'd flip back over and swim away. I think he just loved belly rubs! Kind of like the dog. lol Anyway, I love how you muted the bubbles...way cool. The cb bg is perfect. What a terrific fun card with a very cool seashell charm. Awesome job. TFS :0)

I havent got a clue how you colored that bg and made those bubbles ... now you know! I'm generally a rocket scientist but when it comes to technques, I'm like in preschool. I love that fish ~ amazing what you did to it. I love your card, Anne.
