Wishing You Birthday Fishes!

Morning all,

Who stole the sun? it was gorgeous weather yesterday and today it's so grey and miserable I just want to crawl back into my bed. 

I'm here to share one of the many June Birthday cards I've made (19 birthdays in one month is a killer!) Thankfully, I can double up a lot of designs, which I did with this one:

So I'll own up to having seen a few 'birthday fishes' cards on good old pinterest and it entertained me so this is my take on the idea. 

The sentiment is just computer generated, I randomly punched holes using my single hole punch, which I edged with pale blue promarker, hand cut the shape out and the blue metallic paper underneath and then used half of the Whimsie Doodle image - Great Catch in two different sizes to get the fish, which I coloured in Pumpkin and Gold promarkers and highlighted with white gel pen. The fishes were also raised on foam pads. 

I'm pleased with the result and I think a few more of these will have to be in due course.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Happy New Year!

 

Welcome to 2015 and the first challenge of the year from Crafty Catz. To help ease everyone back into the challenges we're starting with everyone's favourite - Anything Goes

 

Our sponsor this week is Fitztown who are offering our lucky winner 3 images of their choice

 

My card this week is actually my brother's birthday card. As his birthday is January 1st I always struggle to find inspiration to make his card - well, that and the fact I hate making men's birthday cards!

 

I cased a card I found on Pinterest (got to love that site for inspiration!) and came up with this

 

It's a great card to use up scraps I have to say. The sentiment and name are computer generated, the shape is hand cut and the blue thread is actually embroidery silk. I brushed the edge of the shape with versa magic ink in turquoise and mounted it on foam pads.

 

I hope you like it and don't forget to come and play with us at Crafty Catz this week.

 

Until next time Happy Crafting!
