Fintastic Birthday!

by Julie Warner - The Write Stuff

 Happy Friday!

I hope your week has gone well! We are definitely headed into summer now. Most, if not all, of the graduations are over & now it's vacation time! Maybe do a little fishing. I'm not really into fishing. I used to go w/ my grandfather when I was young, but I just can't sit still that long..then or now. Yep..I'm a fidgeter. So while I'm not good at fishing, I can still make fish cards. 

After stamping, coloring & fussy cutting all the fish, I dug thru my pile of backgrounds & came up w/ this shaving cream bg. I wanted something w/ some watery colors but not so intense or busy that it detracted from the little fish.  For those stripes on the little angel fish I had to use a yellow gel pen to get inside the lines. I added some bubbles & a piece of striped washi tape. Then came the hunt for a greeting. Turns out the one I used was just the thing. I inked up the top & bottom lines, then used a narrow piece of scotch tape to cover the original A (in Fantastic), stamped, then reversed the process w/ the tape & stamped an I in the A's place. Some of those clear acrylic doohickies (forgot the name, lol) finished it off.

Here's the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!
