It is Anything Goes challenge at Retro Rubber! Time to show us your favorite style, or try
out something new!
I actually made this birthday card for a little friend who
turned two awhile back. He loved the
card!
I started with stamping and die cutting the two fish from The
Stamps of Life by Stephanie Barnard fish2stamp and die set from 6/2017 (just
old enough!). One was stamped in Brilliance
Pearlescent Poppy the other in Memento Luxe Morocco and both were heat embossed
with clear embossing powder. A spritz of
Fireworks! in Dandelion and Tangelo on my craft mat allowed me to water color
both images. To highlight the eyes and
the mouth on one fish I used my Chameleon alcohol pen in Deep Black.
The background is Bristol Board as it holds up well to
blending techniques, and it is die cut with Elizabeth Craft Designs Stitched
Rectangles. Goosebumps spritzed on the
background and it set aside to dry. Once
dry, I blended Delicata Sapphire Blue across the surface. The bottom has a few more applications of ink
than the top and it is blended to create the ombre look. The Goosebumps pops up with the white color
to look like bubbles. The sentiments are
stamped in StazOn Jet Black from the TSOL sayings4fish set. The background is adhered to a black layer,
then adhered to a card base.
I hope you enjoyed this whimsical birthday card! Make your own Anything Goes project and enter

This is such a cute card with those fun fish swimming around.
ReplyDeleteYou are bringing me back twenty years when I read this book for my then-babies, Neva. It was a favorite then and still a favorite now. I'm sure your little friend loved it!!
ReplyDeleteGreat card Neva, I am totally writing that sentiment down, very clever. I love how the fish are popping out of that bright beautiful background. Cx
