Birthday Fishes
July 29, 2010
I made this card for the latest CAS challenge on SCS (cas77). I have a few fish images, but I opted for PTI’s Pond Life because it is a set I don’t use often (it intimidates me). I had a bunch of sketches on my scrap paper and when I saw the one from Sketch This (101), I knew it would work.
The card finished a bit less CAS than I usually do, but I think it still feels clean and simple.
Thanks for taking a peek!

So cute! I may have to try this challenge; my brain was overloaded with DTGD so I couldn’t think of a good card. I see you used some Ocean Tides, too! Way to go!

This is beautifully designed, Karen! The wavy line of Aqua Mist below the patterned paper is my favorite part–love the idea! Perfect color choices, and I love the stamp choices too!

I think this turned out really cute!

Jill – the wavy Aqua piece was a total fluke – it was a piece of scrap from my bucket! I was so excited when I found it

Karen, this is fantastic! I love all the different shades of greens. They make your card so elegant!

I love the way you used the fish on this card. I have a hard time with this set, too. This is a really great card!
