MMTPT720 = Today's recipient is a daughter of a dear SCS member who is dealing with a major health problem.
I first streakily painted the bg with acrylics paints, when dry, stenciled embossing paste. When that was dry, I swiped the raised bubbles with a metallic gold ink pad. The fish was stamped on thinner watercolor paper, watercolored, cut out, embossed with clear EP, and glued to the bg.

Fintastic card! Love the fish in the suede and gold. The background is terrific in the greens with the gold bubbles. Encouraging sentiment to go along. Wonderful use of challenge colors and beautiful card for the recipient.

This card is FABULOUS! I don't have the right words to describe how much I love your bg with the streaks and gold bubbles. I'm applauding you right now. And that fish -- so funny and so fun and perfectly colored. Awesome card.

Love the colours you choose for your Fishy Friend, who looked very content in his beautifully cool and well-oxygenated watery world.
I was sorry to miss your watercolour roses by the time I got to checking the gallery last night!
