Hello everyone. Believe it or not but I have yet to make a holiday card this year (not counting this post) and I've missed making them. I've also missed Debra and Lisa, my other Crafty Elves and I decided to join them this month for the March 2023 Crafty Elves Countdown to Chrismas.
And, I have a theme - Christmas Fishes.
I've always wanted to make a "Christmas Fishes" type of card and the other day while organizing my Technique Junkies stamps, I found 2 fish stamps and decided to finally get this idea off my bucket list. LOL
Christmas Fishes Card
- I stamped Fancy Fish from Technique Junkies on a piece of white cardstock using Sea Glass, Blue Lagoon, and Blue Raspberry ink cubes from Gina K Designs. I tapped Sea Glass first, then some Blue Lagoon, and then I used Blue Raspberry around the edges.
- I made an A2 card, adhered some striped Christmas paper to the card front, then my stamped image to a piece of red cardstock, and then to the card front.
- I decided not to color the fish so that the Santa Hats would pop more.
- Using scraps of red cardstock and scraps of white glittered cardstock, I die-cut a bunch of Santa hats using dies I picked up here in Brasil, and adhered one to each fish.
- I made my Christmas Fishes sentiment on the computer, printed it on white cardstock, die-cut it using a banner die, and adhered the 2 words to my card front.
- Lastly, just to annoy Debra and to add a bit more quirk to an already quirky card, I added a googly eye on each fish.
I hope you have enjoyed this card and I really hope you will find time to visit the other Crafty Elves and see what they made. All of our social media links are below.
