Best Birthday Fishes

TGIF, Blogging Friends! Hope your week went well. I'm sharing a card today that I made a family member who loves to fish.

Supplies Used:

SU and Making Memories Card Stock

Scrapworks Patterned Paper

Ribbon from my stash

Stamps: Technique Junkies, CC Designs, Flourishes, Papertrey Ink, Technique Tuesday

Versafine Clair and Memento inks, clear ep

 

I used the current Sketch Saturday map, but I rotated it and then I stretched it into a 6x6 layout in PSE. I view it in Grid and it makes it pretty easy to measure my paper layers. Thought I'd include a shot of the printout I use to show you.

I wish my photos showed that there really is some movement in those ribbon strips. They don't lay as flat as the pics show. I stamped and heat-embossed my focal image and sentiment. I added the stars to give a little border to my focal.

On the back of the card, I matted with the other side of the stripes paper. Love these fishies and bought several sheets of this one paper.

I also added the fishies paper to the inside of the card and matted the sentiment.

I am a bit mesmerized by how blue it turned out. But then, blue always speaks to me.
