I thought this would be a fun opportunity to combine the color and the sketch challenges.
SU inks: Cherry Cobbler (fish), Pool Party (bg), Mossy Meadow (reeds)
Altenew Jet Black: sentiment
Dessert: sparkle gems (air bubbles)
I used the coordinating dies to cut out the reeds and fish.
I had to make the template for the curve. I rotated the curve vertically. Does this still qualify for the sketch?
Also, in lieu of acetate (couldn't find it in my stash), I cut up my Tim Holtz clear stamp backer board (don't know the proper terminology, sorry) to fit my A2 size.
I lightly sponged the inside so it wasn't such a stark white and 3rd & 4th generation stamping of the reed.
Although this was time consuming (first try), I'm looking forward to making a few more in the near future.

Oh wow Deborah this is fabulous. I use the "clear stamp backer board" all the time - I love how you described it LOL. I am learning so much from you, I love the 3rd and 4th generation stamping...don't know how I would have described that, but I'm using it from now on!! Terrifc way to use the sketch my friend. Hugaroonies.

Love this set and what you did with it. I recently stamped one of these fish upside down by mistake on a card for my husband and everyone got a good laugh about the "floater".
