This card is for the Funkie Junkie Boutique Water Challenge this month. I used Tim's Alcohol pearls on Yupo paper for the background. For the greenery, I foiled alcohol ink paper which always adds a lot of interest. The water plants were cut using some of Tim's funky floral dies as well as an unbranded die. The fish was fussy cut using a fish that my daughter, Alexandra drew for me. I searched everywhere, but couldn't find a fish stamp or diecut. I think her fish is perfect! I added Nuvo jewel drops for the eye. To finish off the card, I adhered a little Distress glitter and Judikins Speckles as well as Stampendous embossing powder to create the sand.
This isn't my usual style of card making, which is why I love the challenges. They can really stretch your comfort zone as well as your imagination. If you haven't tried a challenge, I encourage you to participate. It is a good way to use supplies that have been sitting in your stash as well. I had not used the Judikins speckles in many years, but it made perfect sand.
Oh my goodness what a perfect home for Alexandra's wonderful fish!!! Those alcohol pearls were just made for a shimmering underwater paradise like this and I love how you've added the sprinkle of 'sand' at the bottom to finish it off perfectly. Thank you for sharing it with us at The Funkie Junkie Boutique challenge blog.
