Snappy Fish

A very cute and fun card today.  I have a bunch of October birthdays coming up so thought I would give myself a fin up on those (fin up, get it??? LOL).  My nephew is getting to the age where cute cute is too cute but cute punny is probably ok.  I hope!

I started by adding Brushos to my card front after masking off a circle.  I let that dry a bit then removed the mask and carefully added a little lemon Brushos and spritzed again.  I wanted some green edges but still a bright spot of yellow; I am really pleased with how that turned out.  I splattered the lot with plain water, let dry, then embossed it with the waves stamp.  Cute!  I colored the angler fish in bright pink then added yellow as thought its lure were casting light on its own body.  Way cool!   I added a googly eye because I just had to and Glossy Accented its teeth.  Smile!
