S&D Fish in the Sea Challenge

Welcome to the 4th blog challenge from the Sunflowers & Dragonflies DT! This week’s challenge is a titled "Fish in the Sea" and you are required to use a fish image on your project. Anyone can play along in the challenge and we hope you will! There are no limits on time or supplies. Of course we’d prefer that you use images by Sunflowers and Dragonflies, but feel free to use other images. Your participation will enter you in a drawing to win a Oval Nestability set for free! Please post a direct link to your challenge project from either your blog or an online gallery to the Sunflowers and Dragonflies Blog, so we can view it. If you upload to an online gallery, please use the keyword S&D4.

I've used the Fish image from Sunflowers and Dragonflies Creative Designs for my challenge project.

I used this weeks CPS Sketch #126 for this card. I love how the circles in the layout and texture made with the Divine Swirls embossing folder creates the look of water around this fish. Don't blue and orange go well together?

The fish was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and the different shades of oranges and yellows were blended with Gamsol. I inked the edges around the fish with orange ink and added some blue rhinestones near his mouth to imitate bubbles! A blue spiral clip & some fun orange and white polka dot ribbon made it complete!
