Fish Eye Eye Eye

Hello Nomad friends.  Over at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity the current challenge is ATC's.
I love Artist Trading Cards.  It's amazing how much art you can get on these small canvases.  


I went arty and had fun with layers and lots of repeat stamping.  That was the last challenge, but why forget a good technique??


I started with a piece of neon yellow card cut to ATC size (2.5" x 3.5").  I stamped and embossed Lost Coast Designs Fruit Pod background with gold tinsel embossing powder.


I took the fish head stamp from Lost Coast Designs Up Close and Personal set and stamped it three times on two scraps of white card.  Then I used a very small die from YNS to perforate the edge and coloured with a black marker so they looked a bit like postage stamps.


I cut a piece of vellum with my ATC die and stamped Lost Coast Designs Freedom Dictionary word twice on each side.  I added it to the atc base and added the fish at an angle.  Whilst doing this I managed to get a inky finger on one of the fish panels so in the spirit of art I added a few more.  I used neon red, orange and yellow gel pens to colour the fish eyes.
