Fishy Hello

 The latest CASology cue word is pet and I couldn't help but think of my 2 giant goldfish (not koi but palm-sized goldfish; my fav was white with just 2 little orange spots on its head) that died a couple of weekends ago after we changed the water in our pond.  I think I misjudged the pH and am now a fish mur-diddly-er-ler.  Thus, my homage to our dearly departed fishies.

I made my own stencils over the weekend using stencil plastic I found at Hobby Lobby and my Cameo.  (Note:  with this particular plastic I found a depth of 6 to work well.) I took the swirls stencil and taped it down over my cardstock.  I then took a VersaMagic chalk teardrop to add the white.  I totally could have used a sponge but because I was only pressing down and not swirling, I used the inkpad itself.  Loving how this turned out.

I then stamped the sentiments and bubbles.  The fish I fussy cut from a notecard set that someone was going to throw away at the office.  The horror, I know.  Gosh, almost forgot to mention I used Wink of Stella to add some sparkle to the fish for that hint of scale.


The Details:  Pop Tone cover stock in Sno Cone, WPlus9 Strictly Sentiments, Inkadinkado Cute Fish Cling, VersaMark Onyx Black, VersaMagic Cloud White, Pretty Pink Posh 4mm clear sequins, homemade stencil using Show-Offs stencil plastic, Wink of Stella Gl. Clear
