Under The Sea!

Happy Friday!

Today's Fun Filled Friday has an "Under the Sea" theme! What could be better then the Rubbernecker fish for this challenge? I was glad to use them. It's been a while since I've used my Rubbernecker Stamps.

I also used this week's Splitcoast Stampers Sketch Challenge (SC196) for this card, AND I think it is also fitting for the Rubbernecker Challenge for this week--to use lots of embellishments. Hopefully, my embellishment list counts: Pattern paper, Cuttlebug embossing, brads, ribbon, staples, and Stickles!

The fish were colored with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. I then used markers to outline them. I used blue chalk for the water and used blue ink on a sponge dauber to give the water some texture. I also inked the edges around the image with blue ink. The image was then layered with dark blue cardstock

Next, I created the panels seen on the SCS196 sketch. I used patterned paper and light blue cardstock with one, and the other I ran light blue cardstock through the Cuttlebug with the Tiny Bubbles Embossing Folder to create a textured background. This piece was matted with dark blue cardstock as well.

I assembled/adhered these panels like in the sketch and added polka dotted dark blue ribbon behind the image. I added just a touch of ribbon at the bottom left of the image with a blue staple, and added a dark blue brad to the 3 corners of the embossed panel.

I adhered the matted image/panel piece to a light blue cardstock base that measures 6.5" x 5."
This ended up up be a pretty good size card, huh?

As a finishing touch, I added Glitter Glue to each fish and the worm. Not sure if this was such as wise thing to do, as I think it is now over done. What do you think? Do you think the glitter is too much? However, it does count as another embellishment for the Rubbernecker challenge!
