Fish thinking of you card

Description

A fish sticker is applied to card, coloured with brush pens, and cut out. This is mounted in relief on a greetings card. Sprayed pond weed, glitter bubbles and a "thinking of you" stamped greeting complete the card.

Materials used

• Textured natural white deckle edge greetings card 104mm x 152mm (4¼ x 6 ins)
• Piece of white card
• Silver sticker No. 95 Happy fish
• Rubber stamp Hero Arts LL662 thinking of you (1 of set of 6)
• Crystal glitter glue
• Tombow brush pens
• Blitzer ink spray
• Double-sided adhesive foam pads
• Scissors

Method

Apply the fish sticker to a separate piece of white card. Colour inside the fish sticker with Tombow brush pens. Cut it out.

Draw the pond weed outline shape on a sheet of paper. Cut it away leaving a hole to form a mask. Position this on the greetings card using the illustration as a guide. Spray the weed using a Blitzer ink spray. The Blitzer uses felt tip pens as a source of ink and gives an interesting grainy finish.

Colour the Hero Arts "thinking of you" stamp with green and blue Tombow brush pens and stamp the card.

Mount the cut-out fish on the greetings card with double-sided adhesive foam pads.

Draw glitter glue bubbles starting at the fish mouth.

Add a tiny fish sticker in the weed.
