For Deconstucting Jen's challenge, and also an initial entry for Beate's .
I struggled to come up with an idea for this, but in the small hours of the morning I came up with this idea. I'd like to add ripples into the water, but that darn masking took forever and I'm scared of spoiling it.
And for today's WT challenge, I dusted off my Dew Drops .
European business envelope sized card.
Green Bazzill stitched with black.
I stamped my fish, using a lot of masking for the school. Initially I started out with a regular A2 card, but my school looked more like one of those bait balls (is that what they call them, when all the fish swim right up close to deter predators, as if...).
Fish are coloured with re-inkers mixed with Perfect Pearls, so in the sunshine there's more shimmer. And for the stripes on the little fish I used a metallic silver pen which acted as resist.
Computer-generated sentiment cut with Double-Ended Tags and fixed with brass brads.

Back to school!!! This school of fish is a masked wonder. You did excellent - it looks like one big stamp. Your b/g is awesome too. I love this cute, cute card.
