Milestone Birthday – 7 year old – B07b

I love this Anniversary card by mariestamps!  So I changed it into a birthday card to go with my 7 year old fish themed cards. Love the idea of the leafed seaweed from the Two-Step Bird and snowflake Punch.  I used a toothbrush to splatter brown acrylic paint on to Crumb Cake cardstock.  One more fish card coming soon.

Here is the poem I used for this 7 year old card.

How I wish I were a fish!

My day would begin flapping my fins.

I'd make a commotion out in the ocean.

It would be cool to swim in a school.

In the sea, I'd move so free,

With just one thought: Don't get caught!

Happy 7th birthday!

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.
