Fish Gotta Swim...

Do you get the impression I'm ready for spring?

I LOVE this set from Gina K Designs, and finally had a chance to play with it since we're finished with the Christmas season. The set is called Just Keep Swimming , and it has some GREAT images!

I stamped the fish on watercolor paper using VersaFine Onyx Black ink, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder.

The images were colored using Tombow markers, then cut out and positioned on a light blue panel cut and embossed with my oval Nestabilities.
The sentiment was stamped and embossed in the same way. Then I used a corner rounder on the blue and pink panels to round off the corners.

The designer paper is from Flair Designs. It's from their Hit The Beach collection. The paper inspired all the colors I used to color the fish, even though I covered some of them up with the oval.

To create the scalloped border for the sentiment, I used my rectangular Nestabilities, selecting one that was long enough for the sentiment.

I used a scrap of blue cardstock and cut the two pieces that you see in the photograph to the left.

The photograph below is where I have put them together to form the scalloped layer to frame the sentiment. The cutting line is covered up when I added the sentiment layer.

So, that's it for tonight. It's time for me to start getting ready to go back to work tomorrow. Is everyone excited about that....or what? LOL! We do what we must, and making a living seems to be a big part of it. Well, it is a necessary part for me, anyway!

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all had a very Happy New Year!
