Wednesday is my husband's birthday. He loves to fish, although does not get a lot of opportunities. So I made him a fish card.
The fish and jar are from SU's Jars of Love set. I used a couple of blue scraps to make the waves with SU's Swirly Bird dies. And some green fronds from SU's Botanical Blooms dies. The background is a stencil from My Favorite Things. I think the fishes are a bit too fascinated by the jar floating in the water. One of them already got caught. Inside I continued the jumping fish.
Since there are lots of scraps on these cards. I am also entering Shopping our Stash challenge Gone Fishin.
This is one of my twofers for this month's Twofer Card Challenge with Nautical theme.
The other card is a background of DSP by SU (now retired) The sea grass is in 2 different greens from the Jars of Love die cuts. The sentiments are computer made. hard to see is the waves from a green printed vellum and 5 "bubbles" from the fish made with Nuvo Crystal clear drops.
Maybe if you squint at or enlarge this close up.

Great cards, Donna! I love that you gave your hubby a fish in a jar for his birthday since he doesn't get the chance to go fishing that often! So sweet and thoughtful and well designed! And your second card is also cool, outside and in, with that neat bg and your extra touches with the vellum and bubbles! Happy Birthday to your mister on Wednesday and thank you for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #19! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteFintastic fish cards, Donna! I especially love the one for your hubs. I think he'll appreciate it. Hope he has a great day. Your bubbles and vellum waves were super embellishments on your second card. Don't you love those Nuvo Drops. I use them ALL the time.

Wow! What a great idea for the waves! Such pretty little goldfish, and very clever with one in the jar, as though he swam right in there himself. Both cards are fabulous for our Twofer Nautical challenge!
ReplyDeleteSuper designs for Twofer Card Challenge #19. So sweet to give hubby fishes for when he can't meet them on his own. Your ocean fish seem to be loving that pp, its fin-tastic. Thanks for playing along.
