This week is Tickle a Teapotter week! It's our little reward for the cards we send off to deserving recipients the other weeks of the month.
This week Nancy Bear is heading up a block party to start the summer season off with a bang.
Too bad it's raining here in California. So I've taken the party to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The party is just enthralled with the sardine tank, so many little fishies in one place. Good thing they're behind some really thick glass. Now me, I'd rather watch the jellies, but you know bears, they like fish!
The bg is done with alcohol inks on a c/s that is white micro pearl. It has this wonderful yet subtle sparkle, just like the sun hitting the ocean. The fish are an embroidery pattern by Erica Fortgen. I've enlarged the pattern to 110%. I've also added another row of fins . The bubbles are two shades of blue and the eyes are red paua shell cabochons.
I've used a little CLD flourish and a Crafty Ann flourish for the seaweed.
This card will be going off to Tickle another Teapotter!

Jennifer, your aquarium card is very pertinent to an adventure I will be on with my 3 yr old DGD soon - I hope when we go to the aquarium, we see some wonderful fishies like these - your stitching has an iridescent quality against the blue - love how you did the sea grasses and the bubbles - what a great card for the tickle!!
