Congratulations to Kittie Caracciolo aka kittie747 as our Featured Stamper this week - FS796. Her detailed creations have been inspiring me here on Splitcoast for a long time - so YAY for some additional recognition!
I selected FS540, Fishy Fishscale by kittie747 at Splitcoaststampers to case for the Challenge because I love her colorful fish and never had seen a background layered in this manner. Also I had a few similar dies to use for my attempt!
My scallops run horizontal so I had to turn my card, and I stamped a few things behind the dies to try for a sense of motion in another layer. I found the seashell in my leftovers bin - already fussy cut - and tried to color match my big fishes. I also used the mirror image technique somewhat acceptably on my envelope.
This was a fun exercise and I am pleased with the result - so THANKS kittie747 and enjoy seeing how you inspire the community this week!

Omigosh Gayle, those fish and shell are colored brilliantly. Reminds me of wild trout I've caught in the Sierra Nevadas. Love the stamping on the back panel. It certainly does add "motion" to the card. And the scallops are perfect for the scene. Fabulous card.
