I just had to make another S O S card. I doodled this fish earlier in the week on my daily sheets. Today I put him and his friends on paper. Hope you like him......details....
Here is my S O S list:
S-fish swimming
O-bubbles and doodles
S-sewn waves with actual sewing machine
Briefly, I drew the fish with the other fish in his open mouth. I had seen a picture in a magazine sometime ago with something to this effect. Coloring was started with re-inkers but the paper couldn't handle the water part so I ended up using koh-i-noor pencils and gamsol. Versa marked and clear ep him.
Stamped the bubbles and seaweed from G-Rated Stamps clear ep them. Colored bubbles with the kon-i-noor pencils.
Took out my good sewing machine and stitched the waves.
Masked off the top part and sponged the water. Then masked the bottom and sponged the sun using a half circle mask. Continued sponging the sky with the other colors.
Layered with the blue and yellow cs. Put on a white card that I added the circle doodles on the edge. Made a bow with the bow easy and called it a card.
So, what do you think of my little trio of fish?.......TFL :0)

Wonderful! What a fabulous creation and I love your sewn waves. Peggy-Sue and I have a challenge for this weekend to use sewing on our cards and I was just not feeling it. Thanks for the inspiration!
