Well, it’s taken me all day but here I am! While I was sitting here having my morning coffee, my mother called and I ended up meeting her and my sister at my aunt’s house. We made a short trip across the river and then had lunch together.
Anyhoo, Mallory has been asking me for days to make her a card. She has been teaching swim lessons all summer and one of her private lessons has been a little boy. She’s put a gift package together for him, now that the lessons are ending, and she wanted a fishy card to give him.
Using today’s SCS Sketch Challenge, this is what I came up with.
I stamped the goldfish on white paper and colored it with Copic Markers. For the background, I masked the goldfish and then sprayed the panel with Broken China/Pearl Shimmer Mist. I then sprinkled drops of water on the background to look like bubbles in the water, but alas you can’t see them in the photo. The bottom orange panel is stamped with a starfish just to add some fun elements to the card.
