Birthday Wishes Card

Hi everyone!

Here is a quick card celebrating my sister's birthday!

My card base is ivory cardstock.  I punched a heart border design on the bottom and then embossed a writing design in gold on the front.  I backed the card inside with lavender shimmer paper.  You can see it through the heart cutouts.  All I did was add the 3D bird sticker and done!

Enjoy the day!

A Big Fish Card...

I don't think we see enough fish on cards.  These shimmery, glimmery shapes are well suited for cards and there are a number of stamps that have anything from life size to decorative designs to suit anyone's taste.

My big fish is a cardstock design from K & Company.

I started with an ivory card base in 5x5 inches.  I created a mat of dark green and then lighter green with a 1/8 inch border.  I used regular flower leaves as my seaweed.  I mounted the fish onto my card with mounting tape to add a 3D effect.  If you look, you will notice that there is a pattern on the green background. I used versa mark and a writing stamp to create a watermark to help represent the movement of water.

 Close Up!
I used a green glitter pen to add glitter accents on the gills and all the fins.  The pen allowed me to make fine or thick lines and create the effect that I wanted.  The "bubbles" are actually Dew Drops in lime green.

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my "fishy" card!
