Best Fishes

This is my post on the Sparkle N Sprinkle blog today.

Diane on the blog today with the cutest digital image
'Gus - Fish Whisper' (Bug-A-Boo).
(Gus is also available in a rubber stamp as well HERE.)

I decided to create a step card with a stenciled background using the
Nuvo Embellishment Mousse.

I used painters tape to tape the Stampendous stencil  Bare Trees on my card stock on all four sides.

Working with a marshmallow applicator

(these are little applicators to apply inks and such with...you can just see it

at the top of the photo below)

I them applied Nuvo Embellishment Mousse colors

Spring Green ~ Coral Calypso ~ Fresh Copper. ~ Lemon Sorbet

You need to work rather quickly as the mousse dries quickly.

Starting with the bottom piece, carefully lift the tape off,

then the two sides, and the top lastly, like a hinge.

Below is the finished result..so pretty!

I printed the image the size I wanted in black and white,

then colored with my Copics.

A Spellbinders Scalloped Rectangle was used to die cut the image. 

Using Nuvo Glitter Markers (these are 3 pack pens) from the sets

Northern Lights ~ Ember Glow ~ Midnight Shadows

I colored in the fish, glasses, water drips, boots, cattails,

and a few places on the patches of the pants.

I also used a Gelly Roll Stardust Pen.

Using 1 1/2" Double Sided Tear-ific Tape on the bottom piece 

and 1/2"  Double Sided Tear-ific Tape on the side pieces of the image,

I sprinkled Chameleon Glitter on.

I printed the digital sentiment, then die cut with a smaller scalloped rectangle.

I once again used the Ember Glow glitter pens to edge the sentiment.

Here is a side view of the card, showing more detail of the background stencil.

Once again the finished card.
