This is my attempt at cutting back on the layers and embellishments. I needed a change! This is a Clean and Simple card, but doesn't really go with a challenge.
The fish and bowl come from the Stampendous set Sushi Bowl Party. I love this set! So cute! The saying is from SU Life Cycles.
I used Stampin' Pastels to color the water and the "sand", and enhanced the "sand" with black and brown Prismacolor pencils. The fish were colored with Summer Sun and Pumpkin Pie markers and were finished off with Yellow and Orange Peel Stickles. I used 3D-Dots to pop out the fish. I blocked the bicycle part of the stamp for the sentiment.
I'm still no pro at coloring, but I'm working on it! Need. More. Copics!

I think you did an awesome job coloring this! And I love the 3D effect. It makes it look like a real fish bowl. And the coloring of the water is perfect.

Absolutely delightful. I've seen this set and have thought of getting it. So cute. I just love your coloring and those fish popped up. And the extra bit of sparkle you added to these goldies. Wonderful card.
