The TSC this week was no square or rectangular cards. Flowers, 3 layers and ribbon or twine. So I decided to do something round. I also used this sweet fish set that I won a while back from smARTWORKS. I stamped it with Tim Holts Black Soot and used clear EP; then colored with copics and applied Crystal Effects to the fish. Let that dry and then using Creative Memories circle cutter, cut a large circle from Blue for the card base; cut a bit smaller circle from the DP and then cut a smaller circle from the center of the DP to create a frame for the fish. I added a ribbon bow and some coral punched from one of MS leaf punches (I got that idea from Pat Smethers). I added two pearls for bubbles from the larger fish. This was pretty easy but I enjoyed using my prize I won. Oh and if you look closely you can see the tiny little flowers circling the border of the DP.

What a beautiful and elegant fish bowl for your pretty fish. I bet the fish brag to all their fish friends that they have a one of a kind fish bowl -- glub, glub, nanner, nanner, glub, glub, boo, boo!!
Awesome card, Tater - just so very pretty!

Oh my, Tater, I almost thought you did a card in P**K!!! Yikes, can't have that - it must be cameo coral or calypso coral!!!
Fabulous idea to make this a one of a kind fishbowl - love the coral idea you used from Pat - the "bubbles", and the way you snuck in the flowers - awesome job, Sis!! lymi

Tater this is cute and pretty. I love the fish and all the layering is just awesome. Not sure which pendant you used but it's pretty. I like how you did your bow and your sweet little flowers. You nailed this challenge. Thanks for playing along. Hey that's a cool way to make your bubbles. I'm going to remember that.

How cute, Tate, I love your fish bowl. With a beautiful fish bowl like this, those fish will never try to leave the bowl. You know, no flopping out of it.
