SU107 Fishy Valentines

I fell in love with these fish from THIS card!  I thought they were so cute so I had to come up with a card using them.

I use acrylic paints a lot to splatter cardstock, however they are starting to dry up on me.  Guess you can't ask them to remain in good condition after not using them for 10 years!  I decided to try my red re-inker for this card and it worked!  I just put a drop of ink on a plastic lid, dipped my wet toothbrush in it and splattered slowly.  It sure dries a lot quicker than the paints!  This is probably old news to you but I just figured it out!

I used the ornament punch to punch out the fish bodies from wallpaper.

Clear Mount Template

If you look at my right hand side bar, you will see a clickable template that you can use when ordering your Clear Blocks for Stampin' Up!'s clear mount stamps. You will find these very helpful when purchasing clear mount stamps. These are templates for each of the clear mount block sizes.



The templates are actual size. You can print the template on vellum or on a transparency sheet to match the stamp image in the catalog to the block. Keep your printed template inside a page protector so it stays clean. When you need to decide which block you need, simply place the printed template right over the stamp set you want to purchase … it shows you exactly what size of block you need for that particular stamp set. Wonderful!

This template is a Copyright LaycockDesigns. Thanks Michelle!
