wish BIG!!


LOL!! Ok, is this image a hoot or what? I just fell in love with this goofy fish when I saw it. If you take a minute and really look at this image it has some REALLY funny characteristics to it. I doubt you can see all the detail in the photo but the little worm has this crazy "get away from me" look to his face and the fish's smile just cracks me up. Even the little dog on the boat has this little question mark above his head like, "dude, look at the size of this fish!"

Ok, so this GREAT stamp is called Here Fishy Fishy, from Class Act. ROFL!! They have a lot of really great stamps. You have to check them out!

I started by stamping my image onto some SU Very Vanilla and colored it with my Copics to flow with this great DP from Cosmo Cricket's Nutmeg collection. The paper behind the image on top, is actually cloud paper which worked well for the sky and then this striped paper had this large green stripe that I used as my water. I colored the image to match the water so it would somewhat blend into the water and sky. I rounded the corners and matted it with some SU Chocolate Chip CS. The woodgrain paper is part of this collection as well and I matted it with some SU Dusty Durango CS that I punched with my new Martha Stewart border punch. This punch reminds me of fish scales so I thought it was perfect for this card. I printed this sentiment onto some SU Very Vanilla CS and matted it with some SU Dusty Durango that I punched with my Marvy scalloped square punch. I stitched the DP onto the mat of SU Chocolate Chip and then adhered it to the cardbase of SU Dusty Durango. To finish, I tied on the matching SU Dusty Durango polka dot ribbon and there you have my "Fishy-Fishy" card for today!! Leave a cluck below and tell me whatcha think of him, ok? You guy's comments always make my day!! Have a SUPER DUPER Tuesday!

Supplies:
Rubber Stamp - Class Act; DP - Cosmo Cricket; Copics; CS - SU Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip, Dusty Durango; Ribbon - SU; Punches - Martha Stewart, Marvy, We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper
