This card isn't made for a challenge, I just wanted to add it to my gallery. I made it for a little boy at our church, and I'm happy with how it turned out. The other day my daughter and I did the, Bokeh technique, I made several background pieces, and this is one of them. I chose it for my card because of the shades of blue and purple inks that I used. I got the idea, to make a card with gold fish on it. I stamped, colored, and fussy cut the gold fish and the anchor. I punched twigs and pine sprigs, with my Martha Stewart punches, to use as under water vegitation. I used my Spellbinders- nautical die, to cut the sand castle, out of a scrap of brown cs, and I used a scrap of dark brown cs, for the sand across the bottom of the scene. I glued all my images in place, added some stickles here and there, and stamped the happy birth day, in one of the bubble circles on the back ground dp, that I made with the Bokeh technique. This is the second card, I've made using this technique. I'm very pleased with the out come of this card. Thank you so much for the fun tutorial, and thanks for looking.

This is just too cute! It's a real keeper! The bokeh background looks great as water in a fish tank, and I love how you made the sand and sandcastle too!

That Bokeh technique really works for you. Great bg and it's so perfect with the fishes and the bottom of the tank. It really looks like a real life fish tank. OMGoodness, this is just adorable.
