I have a full day today and I wanted to get this in the mail right away (USPS closed tomorrow for Veteran's Day) since it's going all the way to Auckland New Zealand. It's going out to Tom who has been ill. He's the father of SCSer Kim (Crazy Kim). I applied 3 different distress inks to the fish stamp and then "huffed" on it before stamping. I like how it turned out. The bg was made with a new stencil. TFL!

Fred Mullet had the best stamps and your use of it is wonderful, Polly! Love the colors on this one and what a perfect stencil you chose for your background! I also love the framing in that cheerful pattern!

Wow Polly - this really is a keeper!! I love the bubbly BG for your freshly colored fish - beautifully stenciled effect! Your bright bold colors are so cheery, what a great combination for this technique. This is sure to be one of Tom's favorites! Thank you so much for coming to his Teaparty...make sure to get some of those cookies, you've earned your extras!! Hugs from NJ.
