TLC1090 Combed Fish
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: Cook22

 I made this for Jean's challenge: TLC1090 Sgrafitto 01/12/2026 by jkanack at Splitcoaststampers

I'd been using gold acrylic for something and had squeezed out more than I needed, so I brushed the excess onto a piece of heavy white card. Casting around for ideas for the challenge some days later, I thought I could paint over it and mark it while the top coat was still wet. DH really liked the results, and says I can use his comb any time, even though I didn't quite get all the dark blue paint off, LOL.
I wanted to leave as much as possible showing, so I just added a fish from Fishy Friends coloured with Twinkling H2Os, and some seaweed cut from scraps. The frame was cut from a mixed media background and I dry-embossed the stitched rectangle into the base as an extra frame.

High praise from Ciaran, who I know is not afraid to not give praise. I think that background is beyond cool. A comb! I didn't think of that one, although I know there are tools meant for that. I love your card!

Brilliant card,Sabrina:
I have never seen that fish looking so fine.
Great idea to generate waves with a comb.

Wow Sabrina, your BG is so very amazing and goes so well as an fish tank scene.
