Fintastic Friends

Hello Nomad friends.  I have made a card for a fish loving friend.  I tried a bit of paper piecing for the background in the Retiform style.  Piecing the background allowed me to rotate the pieces of patterned paper for added interest.


I die cut the Cheery Lynn fish from a twinnings earl grey teabag box and then used Promarkers to add some colour.  I've also used a Promarker to edge the patterned paper pieces and colour the white base card for a matching look.  I cut the words using Stamplorations dies from some pale blue scraps.  The fintastic started life as fantastic and with a snip of the scissors a pun was born.

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz
