It's Teapot Tuesday time again... For this week we are making cards for an 8 year old boy "Dante" who has just received a bone marrow transplant from his younger sister Julia, Dante LOVES to fish - so we are making fish themed cards to bring him a little joy. HERE is the Story.
I used this weeks CAS sketch for my card. Stamped the fish (from SU's Very Puny set) and coloured with Tombow Marker. I used the stamp a ma jic to line up the fish/sentiment along the bottom. Cut out three fish and placed them in between the waves. I sponged on the clouds with Tempting Turquoise ink. The hot air balloon is a sticker. I used letter sticker's for "Dante's" name. Added stickles to the waves....

This is just so SWEET! If you had not told us that hot air balloon was a sticker, I would never have known, it looks like you stamped and colored it! Sure to brighten up Dante's day!

Hi Pat! I would have been here earlier but I have been waiting for the tide to roll in....or out......whatever it takes to get a little more of your best fishies up and on top of the wave. I heard bungy jumping arial fishing really is all the rage! That's why its so important to get the rest of the school at the surface.....its a split second kinda thing.....snappin up a fishie on a bungy at the precise moment is not for sissys! Guido and the Silver Fins are naturals...they just had to get *extreme*enough in their fishing procedures! Get ready Gullible Gill.......
Whisper: Thank you for playing in the Queen challenge and making that other awesome card! Both of them are awesome cards..this one and that one! I love that Dante will see this card! Hugs......thanks!!!!
