OMGosh!! I just LOOOOVE the color combo today!! Burmuda Bay, Real Red, and Kraft. Why haven't I used this already?? Oh yeah, I was in a stamping slump and barely stamped with any combos! LOL
This was also made for Mothermark's teaparty, which I haven't been to for a LONG time! My story is... I don't have a story. It's after 1:30, my creative brain is done. I just used the teapot fish theme, and I punched a tiny red heart for the "lips" on my fishies.
EDITED: I guess the link for the technique does not work for some.... so I hope it is ok to post the directions here. This comes from flowerbugnd1's technique card:
Directions on the Tech card read:
Emboss a piece of card stock using an embossing folder & a die cut machine like the Big Shot. Before removing from the folder, rub the side of a crayon over the embossed, raised image. Use a white or dark crayon, or even a shimmer crayon. Remove from the folder & sponge Classic ink over the entire area.
I have only tried glossy cs for this technique, and it works great. (perfect to find a use for it too, since I don't use it much!)
This card will be given to my son's gf for her graduation.
TFL!

Kris, you are so creative...just look at those fish 'lips'. Too cute. I love the splashes of water to the sides. I've never seen a waterdrop punch. Your emb. folder is perfect. Absolutely adorable creation!!!

Fabulous colours, and wow, what a way cool embossed background. I'll have to try that when I get home. I think I might have tried it once, was it a TLC (your link just gives me a message that I don't have permission to view the image), but it certainly looked nothing as fantastic as this, and I found a pile of glossy card recently.
