Happy Friday Friends! Perfect for the end of the week, a happy little birthday card! :-) This little fella is an image by Krista Heij Barber, called Hugs 'n Fishes and was released with Whimsy's July release. Isn't that the happiest little fish? Sooo cute! I only used part of the image and colored using my Distress Ink Markers. The image was stamped onto Fabriano Artistico hot press watercolor paper - my favorite because it's extra white and super smooth. Here's a close-up. I tried to catch all the shimmer I put on the background 'water' but that's quite difficult. I used a Wink of Stella clear brush pen (I loooove these!) for that. It's so nice and shimmery, wish you could see it. This is the whole image   Distress Markers I've used to color: Wild Honey Dried Marigold Abandoned Coral Barn Door Aged Mahogany Vintage Photo Tumbled Glass Broken China Salty Ocean Mermaid Lagoon Evergreen Bough Peaco...

Hey Everyone! Just a little mid week post from me to share a CAS creation I made using Clearly Whimsy's Love is a Flower set and Bold Statements . I stamped the flower using three different shades of ink, starting with the lightest first. The pistil was embossed using silver embossing powder. Then I cut out the flower using the largest die of the Stitched Tag Dies and added some ribbon and a button. I covered my card base partly with DP and sprinkled some aged silver embossing enamel on the blank part. Attaching the tag with foam tape and adding the sentiment and finished is a fairly quick CAS card :-) Hugs and thanks for stopping by!
