If the truth be known (and that is a foreign concept at the teaparties) there are really 42,000 synchronized swimming fish on this card. But alas, two are really new to synchronized swimming and have gotten lost One is inside the card trying to find a way out and the other is on the envelope trying to find a way in. The other 41,996 are so closely lined up with the two on the front of the card that you really can't see even they tiniest little bit of them.
I stamped the smallest fish from SU! Fishy Friends 42,000 times and colored them with an aqua gel pen and some water color. I applied stickles to the fish and cut them out with the SU! small circle punch and popped them on a card that I had prepared by cutting out a MS ribbon loop ATP punch and a couple of Nestie dies. I CB'd the aqua bg paper. I also cut a piece of another MS border punch and then some tiny flowers from the spotted background paper with another Nestie die. Dew drops were applied to the center of the little flowers and a two-sided ribbon with stripes / polka dots. Decorated the envelope and VOILA!!
WOW!! The Teaparty started early today, I was just perusing the gallery and surprise, surprise....

My favorite fish - blue sparkly fish. I have tried and tried when we are out in the boat to catch one - but they are quite elusive. Phyllis, your card is adorable and love the sparkle!!

Surprise! Surprise! I didn't work today so I thought I would get it up and running early! Ah ha! I knew someone would bring 42,000 of sumthin! Good thing they are little fishies because 42,000 of them in the pool with the teapotters makes for allota synchronizing! If that one fishie on the envelope gets in, a teapotter will have to get out! Hey you fishies, get back in unison! Wassa matter with you!
I love your 42,000 fish, you get extra cookies for sure!

Sure hope the lost fish find the rest of the group fast! Otherwise, Ron may be trying to dive in and rescue them!
Darling card, love your details and the frame is awesome!
