I'm still suffering from the hot weather and that means my lack of ambition continues😒. This month's Blog Hop photo didn't do much for me so I struggled to come up with an idea. I only have one set of fish stamps, and of course I'm now wishing I bought the flora and fauna stamp sets PTI released last month! Oh well, I'll get them later.
Looking at the inspiration photo made me think of a fish traffic jam! lol All those fish trying to get somewhere and bumping into each other, just like cars on the road. I came up with this quick, clean and simple card.
Looking at the inspiration photo made me think of a fish traffic jam! lol All those fish trying to get somewhere and bumping into each other, just like cars on the road. I came up with this quick, clean and simple card.
I started with a piece of Spring Rain cardstock and added a section of white cardstock for the sand at the bottom. I stamped a few leafy thingies and starfish along with the sentiment.
Lots of blue in the photo so I stamped the fish in Enchanted Evening and Blueberry Sky, adding a few in Fresh Snow and Berry Sorbet inks. The bubbles are stamped in Spring Rain ink.
I'm not crazy about this card but at least I made something to enter the contest! Oh, it's just 5 months until Christmas! Think cold weather and snow. 👍
