It was my brother-in-law's 60th birthday yesterday. No party for him and nearly no handmade card as I haven't been at all well the last month.
My brother-in-law has an amazing fish tank in his front room and a lot of time is spent looking after the fish so it had to be a fish themed card. I looked through various CDs and came across this image of four fish on my Joanna Sheen Jayne Netley Mayhew CD. I printed off the topper sheet and an insert and the backing papers were from a Creative Crafting World CD.
I used the fish on the smaller toppers and fussy cut them and die-cut seaweed, net and vegetation and placed the cut out fish on either side of the card. The main image is decoupaged.
I have finished the card off with a sentiment printed from the CD, the number "60" die-cut out of packaging card twice and then some patterned paper to add dimension, lots and lots of die-cuts and Nuvo pearl drops added to the vegetation and the backdrop for the fish.
I am entering this card into the following challenges:
