Mason's 3rd Birthday Card

Once again I have reached for the Fishy Friends set when it came time to do a kids card. I know it's retired but I love it. I've been wanting to try one of these folded cards for ages and I'm happy with the result.

Kiara's Rainbow Fish birthday card

This is my attempt at a rainbow fish card for Kiara's 5th birthday. I embossed the outline of the fish in silver on watercolour paper. I used water colour crayons and inks to colour the fish and did a wash with reinkers on the background.

Crayon Resist - Fishy friends

Another example of crayon resist. This time I used a dauber to ink up the jelly fish and the seahorse. I used varying shades of blue on the jelly fish starting with the lightest. With the seahorse I added river rock, creamy caramel and really rust to give him a bit of depth. Oh and to get the soft sky on the ribbon I just used a white ribbon and rubbed it along the edge of the soft sky ink pad.
