If I could live on a cruise ship (or a mega yacht) on the ocean, I'd be a happy camper!! I love the ocean, the shore, the waves, the fish, the tide pools, etc. So when I saw the Seaside Shore "fishy" stamp set in the Stampin' UP! catalog, I knew I wanted it!
I created a Porthole scene for these fishies.. they are swimming by to say hello!
The porthole is easy to create with the Layering Circles Framelits!! Just die cut 2 concentric circles and you have a perfect ring! I added the Metallic Enamel Silver circles around the ring to make it look even more like a porthole.
I used a 2" x 4" piece of the Irresistibly Floral paper (with the white embossed circles) for the background and I stamped the bubbles in Dapper Denim ink onto the paper. The bubbles are from the new "Playful Background" stamp set, on page 121 in the 2016 Catalog, #141290. After stamping the bubbles, I used a Sponge Brayer (page 180, #141714) and applied a light layer of Marina Mist ink on the paper, then wiped off the excess with a paper towel.
The fish were stamped in Dapper Denim or Calpyso ink onto Whisper White cardstock, and after they were completely dry, I added some color with my Stampin' Write Markers in Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral, Peekaboo Peach and Soft Sky. I also colored over them with the Clear Wink of Stella pen. Never hurts to add a little shimmer to your stamped card 🙂
I cut the fish out with my paper snips and adhered them to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
This 4-1/4" square Watermelon Wonder card is super colorful and also features patterns from the By the Shore designer paper package (pg 173, #141640).
"You've got a friend in me" is from the adorable Bella & Friends stamp set. So cute!!

Darling “fishy” card, Patty. Love the colors. Thanks for sharing.
Adorable
I LOVE all your fish cards but I really love how you used the Metallic Enamel Shapes around the Dapper Denim circle to give it the look of a ship window! Awesome card!
