Birthday Fishes

Hi everyone!

We are entering the second half of our current challenge at the Dream Factory.

 

Our Movie: 

C'est la vie

A sense of Celebration

 

We are celebrating all the occasions that make us happy! 

Birthday, wedding, retirement, promotion, baby, new house, new job, vacation, etc... 

I recently treated myself to these funny PaperArtsy fish from the Kate Crane collection.

With their party look, I thought they'd be perfect for the “celebration” theme, so I made a funny maritime birthday card. 

I colored the fish with alcohol ink markers and cut them out. They found place on a gel print, which I had previously embellished with two stencils. (swirls and reefs)

I added musical notes to some of the bubbles to make them more fun, 

then used several Stampin'Up sets to compose the sentiment. The starfish is from Craft Emotions.

Have Fun!!
