Good Sunday morning. I’m sorry I missed a few days of posting. I have a hard time making projects on evenings when I get home from work late. I sure love the weekends.
I have a fun underwater scene project to share with you today using the fish from Impression Obsession Mini Nautical Set and Small Grass.
I cut the fish out in three different colored papers. I colored the yellow and bright pink fish with Wink of Stella Pretty Garden Set glitter brushes. I didn’t have turquoise or light brown glitter brushes so I added sparkle to those fish and seahorses with glossy accents and diamond glitter. I colored the grass sprigs with the green glitter brush.
I used the negative from the small grass dies as a template to paint in the grass sprig background on the card base with the green glitter brush. I painted on a couple sprigs and then turned over the negative so the grasses would be going in different directions to look more natural. I sponged in the blue water background using my ink blending tool and the brown sand ocean bottom with my Color Box stylus and foam tip.
I cut two frames, applied a layer of mounting tape to the back of the largest one, applied a few pieces of the grass and then attached it to the smaller frame. I attached a section of sand to the back of the smaller frame then attached to the card base with another layer of mounting tape. I tucked a few more pieces of grass sprigs in behind the sand and attached with glossy accents.
I attached fish in front of and behind grass sprigs with mounting tape and rolled glue dots. I wanted them to appear as if they were swimming around. I love the bright colors and all the sparkle. Too bad the photos don’t really do it justice.
Have you had a chance to try out any of the Wink of Stella glitter rushes? They are lots of fun. I only have the Garden set but I am going to order several more colors soon. It think the gold, silver, red and black will be wonderful for holiday cards.
Thanks for stopping in today. I hope you have been enjoying your weekend.
Card size: 5.50” x 4.25”

Geez Kitty no need to apologize for a few days off, although I for one miss you on your days off LOL, you surely deserve some R & R. This is such a cute card. I just have to create this one for a birthday card next week, it will be perfect. I hope it comes out as cute as yours. Thanks for the wonderful inspiration.
Loved the tip about using the negative like a stencil….duh, why didn’t I think of that???? LOL You are so smart….why I love your blog. Your card is adorable BTW.
Just purchased my first Wink of Stella brush in clear and the green Wink of Luna brush….I use so much foliage on my cards, thought these would be good for highlighting leaves and flowers.
TFS your talent and ideas with us….
