This is my first image from Cute as a Button but probably not my last. :-D I've just discovered them and I can feel a shopping spree coming on. Oh, well, feeling a shopping spree is more fun than feeling a summer cold coming on!
Speaking of summer, what could be better than celebrating a cool day under the sea? I think I'll use this for a birthday card.
I colored the image with ProMarkers and chalks, then added a bit of glitter to her hips and upper tail. I used a die from Sue Wilson to cut the piece that frames her. On this card, I cut the blue CS and laid it over the image. On top of that I layered the undersea die cut from Memory Box. I used the little negative circles that dropped out to make the bubbles on the image. The little fish is also a negative piece. I thought that would be a great way to use those tiny scraps instead of just tossing them away.
