This is for the Ways to Use It Challenge - Aquarium. I've never had an aquarium, but I've won my fair share of goldfish at a school carnival and so have my kids. We had lots of goldfish bowls! It's a wonderful feeling to win that coveted prize before they were all gone and to carry it home in the plastic bag. I put the colorful banners at the top for the school carnival ambiance. As part of a Color Challenge Bingo prize, Mary Marsh/MaryR917 kindly sent me some strands of banners in different colors. I had this not-so brilliant idea to cut one banner off each strand in order to get a multi-color look, but I didn't do too good putting them together. I guess it really does look like a school carnival now. LOL I stamped the plastic bag & the fish inside, colored fish & "water" with Brushos.
Bonus Challenge to make it shine. So, I stamped the bag on a window sheet, let dry and fussy cut leaving a piece at the bottom to adhere. Put lots of glitter on the "water" before attaching the stamped window sheet piece. Sentiment at bottom hides glue. Die-cut bow hides glue at top. Fun card to make. TFL

I remember when I was a kid we use to have school parties and there was always a fish pond where we could win gold fish in a bag. We use to get so many and my dad would have to help us get them all in the tank. Super cute card. Thanks for the memory.

Diane,
your card brought back memories for me of how many fish tanks we used to have and bringing home the fish in those bags! Beautiful job on the challenge!
