best fishes retirement

One of my hubby's colleagues has recently retired and so a card was required. He loves fishing and in the past has had an ornamental fish pond so I thought these fab aurora wings digital fishes would be perfect.                                                                                                                                                    Now I don't normally dream about cards but I knew exactly what I wanted to do when I dreamt about this one though it wasn't quite like this.                                                                                                  The fish were the same and so was the background it was the circles that were slightly different.

I fell in love with this bubble border die but for some strange reason in my dream when I used it to cut my base card it looked like this but in reality it cut out the shape and left the hole in the card. All worked out in the end though as a bit of sticky and sparkly blue mirri-card and the look I dreamt of was achieved.

 The background is moonglow inks that have a wonderful sheen and sparkle to them simply blobbed onto the base card with a stipple brush.                                                                                                                                                                The fish I coloured with promarkers and fussy cut them out before sticking to the card and all finished with a gold peel-off sentiment.
