If You Give A Crafter A Cookie Challenge No. 101 - FISH!

Hello everyone and Happy Hump Day!!!  Man, this year is flying by.  I cannot believe it's almost September!  Crazy. But, I have a fun card for you today - all about fish! The If You Give A Crafter A Cookie Challenge Blog has a new challenge - No. 101 - and this is the inspiration photo we need to work with - 

I decided to use a digi-stamp set that I recently purchased from Vera Lane Studio on Etsy called Ocean 11, which has nothing to do with George Clooney and a lot to do with 10 fish and a shell.  LOL

I started by making an A2 card base of white cardstock to which I adhered a piece of blue cardstock (for the water).  I then took 3 of the fish and sized them so it looked like they were each fish food for the other, printed it on a piece of white cardstock, and die cut it with a stitched rectangle die.  

Next...I colored the fish using a variety of BIC markers.  Then, using the River Rocks 6 stencil by StencilGirl Products, I applied Salty Ocean Distress Ink through the stencil for the fish bubbles.   

I then adhered the fish to the card front.  Since the set did not come with a sentiment, I made one.  I printed out the words "Have A Fintastic Day!", cut the words apart, adhered them to the same blue cardstock as the base, and then adhered them under the fish.  I also applied some True Blue, Crystal, and Glam Pink Stickles (Ranger) to the fish, and set it aside to dry.

And this is the final card.  

I have some other ideas but need more hours in my day to get them out of my head.  I hope you enjoyed this quick card.  Let me know by leaving a comment below if you wish!  And, remember to "have a fintastic day".  LOL 

Until next time -
