A big congrats to Laura, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a terrific gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept the fish theme & bg colors, but changed most everything else. I used different images, dies & a different layout.
For my underwater scene, I used blue-green alcohol ink bg..it has some silvery streaks but theyâre hard to see here. It was cut in a lg circle & I added a stitched circle frame on top. The lg fish, octopus & sea grasses were colored w/ Copics & die cut. The octopus was cut in half so I could place part over the frame & the rest under it. The tiny fish were die cut out of dk blue & left overs of the same bg. I wanted them to blend into the watery scene.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ more pics & Copic colors:The Write Stuff

Julie, this is a great case of Laura's card. I love your color combination and how you paired the stamped fish with several of the tiny die cut fish. The water background you created is amazing. Love it!

Oh my this just makes me chuckle out loud. Your coloring is phenomenal and makes each of your characters a star in it's own right...but that octopus does steal the show. So clever and funny to have him straddle the frame. Your bg is gorgeous and the smaller die cut fish add a great detail. All the details you added make this one fabulous card. Awesome.
