Sending Birthday Fishes

HiHo and Happy Day to all.
This is a birthday card I made for one of my female cousins. 

 
I chose this Splitcoaststampers sketch for my layout design, resizing it in PSE to a 6x6 card.

Supply List:
Leann's World 101 Saleena digi, colored with Zig Clean Color WC and glitter pen markers
Dick Blick white tag board card base
Purple SU and White Springhill Digital card stocks
The Wiggles designer paper
LaLaLand Under the Sea dies (dark purple bubbly curve and fish)
Memory Box/Poppy Stamps Loopy Rings die
CC Designs sentiment, stamped with Versamark and
Heat-embossed with white powder

Inside, I used Nocturne Versafine Clair ink on white card to stamp sentiments from Sheena Douglass' Sea View collection. I cut the card with a Spellbinders Labels 5 die and layered on the Wiggles designer paper mats.

The back of the card...

Close-up to show the glittery shimmer of her eyes, wand and watercolored tail.
And a close-up to show the white heat embossing on the sentiment.
I also wanted to show the 12x12" sheet of designer paper I used. It's a very old 2004 sheet from an Australian company named The Wiggles that I've had in my stash almost that long, bought as a single sheet. But apparently it was just waiting there for me to use for this card. So I used it on all 4 surfaces and was able to use up the whole sheet. I love when that happens! 😍

And final view.

Thanks for the visit and have a great evening!

Lovely card - all that beautiful blonde hair. I wish I had been a blonde but it's all grey now so I could say I was a blonde and no one would know.
Take care.
