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:
Crafting with Attitude - Anything Goes
Craft your Passion - Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you like it and until next time - happy crafting!
