JAN26VSNE quilted fish

Photo Details

Poster: lacyquilter

This is my card for Lisa's JAN26 vsn goldfish challenge. I went for a fish quilt pattern. I used square punches, and then cut the summer sun diagonally to create the fishes. The card base was stamped with the blue sprigs, but I don't remember the stamp used. I added embossing to represent waves, and drew in extra seaweed.

The quilted fish design is so striking, especially with the crisp angles from the punched squares. The summer sun triangles give each fish such clear movement, and the embossed waves add great texture without overwhelming the pattern. The stamped sprigs and hand‑drawn seaweed pull everything together into a lively underwater scene.

You added so much to bring this card to life and the fish just really hit it out of the park. This is brilliant.
