For this challenge we were to use the Gel Technique where a window of some shape is cut and there is a big of some type of gel in front of the image. It gives an 'under the sea' look. It got VERY late, so I kept mine CAS. As it was going to be simple I chose a vivid orange for the base card and stamped it with simple waves. I used the square scallop for my cut out. I dashed to my bathroom to search for hair gel but all I found was green aloe vera. Now if the fish gets too much sun he is set- HA! I colored my fish image with markers and was set to go. Another challenge finished for VSN. Next time I will try something a little more embellished- promise.
Thanks for viewing and commenting.

Oh, I think this is great!! I love the smaller opening for the gel technique. I think "less is more" works well for this techniques, IMO. I have a large area on my card, and I don't think I would try that again! I looks like not many of us braved this challenge!
