I have two cards to share with you today - both of which I made this morning and I couldn't decide which one to share today so I'm sharing both of them in the same post.
This first one features an image from MHK Designs and I can't remember the last time I did an image with such gorgeous fish in it!
I colored the fish bowl and fish with ProMarkers and chalks, then cut the image with a stitch, scalloped die from Memory Box. The black background piece is cut with a die from Altenew and I love the way it gives the impression of bubbles in water. I found sparkly, silver ribbon in my stash and used it to wrap the card front and tie the bow.
The sentiment is from the same MHK Designs set.
Challenges: (for this card only)
Lil Patch of Crafty Friends
Pile It On
Ribbon Girl
My next card stays with the water creature theme and this time I've used a seahorse image called "Barbie Mate" from the challenge on Sasayaki Glitter's Facebook page. I must admit, I'm not sure this seahorse is actually underwater since that would have a negative effect on his BBQ fire but he's grilling for all he's worth, regardless. :-D
Again, I used my ProMarkers to color the image, sticking with ocean blues and greens, and this time I die cut it with a die from Spellbinders. I added strips of double sided tape and used loose glitter to make all the sparkles around the frame.
I kept everything very CAS, adding only two scrap strips of embossed ("Linen" folder) CS and one tiny bow which I dyed to match with ProMarkers.

I used a number of the colors from Stamping Sensations,
although my "pink" turned a bit coral.
