Big Birthday Fishes MIX
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: LittleSeaOtter

 MIX75 made my desk messy. I had everything thrown around, but it was fun.

I started with the fish from A Stamp In The Hand...stamping it with a combination of Adirondack Sunshine Yellow and Adirondack Butterscotch dye inks. I then added some highlights with waterbased Zig Colorbrush markers.

Then, using Zig Colorbrush markers, I inked the seaplant life, also from A Stamp in the Hand. I stamped and reinked repeatedly along the bottom of the paper.

I sponged Distress It Tumbled Glass ink.

Once dry, I took a water-wave like stamp, from A Stamp In The Hand, and with a Zig Color Brush marker, I inked it and stamped repeatedly.

Using an eraser on a pencil I dipped white acrylic paint into the scene to appear like bubbles.

I outlined the fish with a black marker, and with Versafine Onyx Black, stamped the sentiment from Taylored Expressions.

I added three pieces of Baker's Twine, and three crystal beads.

I framed the scene with black cardstock, and placed on a white card base.

Thanks so much for looking, and thanks for a great MIX75 challenge...including something that occurs multiple times.
