Something's Fishy...

Happy Saturday!

I am trying again for the guest designer at My Favorite Things!

Just the thought of working with all those creative ladies is exciting, BUT then, they throw in over $100 in MFT products. I just can't resist...

So here are my cards. I made two:

I used the so cute, a la modes, Something's Fishy for both cards.

They asked us to use a Touch of Texture.

I just used the fish from "Something's Fishy" for this card.

The DP is BoBunny Barefoot & Bliss . I made a "fish bowl" using beads, window sheets, and foam tape.

I added scales to the fish with sequins and used stickles on the fins for a little sparkle.

All the circles are cut out with spellbinders.

And I stitched all the layers with the sewing machine.

 

The rope is decorative trim from Hobby Lobby. I used a tacky sheet and made the circle and then

cut around it on the tacky sheet. I added two buttons from my stock and used the

Fishtail Banner die-namic.

The sentiment is from the Notched Tag die-namic stamp set.

I used the Jumbo Scallop die-namic at the bottom for my water. The yellow is textured paper, and the orange I used a dottie embossing folder. The small circle with the button  on the top left is also from the Fishtail Banner die-namic.

This is my second card. I like the thought of her reaching into the fishbowl and pulling out

something other than a fish...so how about some LOVE.

The DP is BoBunny Barefoot & Bliss and also, Lime Twist by MME. I used cystal lacquer on her boots and the fishbowl. (Do you think it looks like a flower pot?) The heart is from the Notched Tag die-namic. The big scallop square nestie was cut out using crinkly brown paper from the Paper Studio. I paper pieced her top with scrap su paper and her pants are pieced with scraps of denim. The rest is colored with copics.
