Here is the inspirational photo and my card for your inspiration:



Here is my take on the inspirational photo.  

Here is how I put my card together:

I stamped the fish three times using the Misti and cut them out with the SNC.

I then cut a piece of card stock with a stitched die, I used a water brush and added some water color paint onto the card. I let it dry and put the card stock  in the  Misti and stamped the hooks. 

After the paint was dried I put the card stock  in the  Misti and stamped the hooks and the sentient.

I colored the fish with copics, then placed them where I wanted them and popped them up with foam tape.

a2z Scrapbooking April Challenge - Water coloring

Hello everyone,

I am here with a2z Scrapbooking challenge which is water coloring.  Earlier this month I made a card using a background layer that I made with Ken Oliver's colorburst with an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper. I told you I might be back with another project using the same paper.  This time I cut a circle out of the water color paper.  If you missed the card, here it is and you can see how I made my background.  

Here is a closer look at the card.

Here is how I put the card together:

I cut two layers with some stitched dies, I then used the circle that I cut out of the piece I used earlier in the month.  I then die cut three butterflies from theButterfly Pair stamp and cut stamp set.  I only used the small butterfly.  I also cut the "thanks" from the water color piece of paper I had left over. The "thanks" and the sentiment is from the Thanks stamp and cut set.  The 8 1/2 x 11 sheet can go a long way, I still have lots more to use.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope I have inspired you to join the a2z Scrapbooking challenge this month. For more details on the challenge, you can find it here.
