Fishy, Fishy, Fishy Ohhhh!

This ATC is a fit for the TMTA challenge this week which was......wait for it........Fish !! I always find this one difficult because I dont have many fishy stamps. I have chosen one which is an oriental fish (?). 

The card blank was cut from white card and the background stamped numerous times with a background stamp from Tanda inked with Versamagic chalk ink in turquoise gem, aloe vera, tea leaves and hint of pesto.  The background was then painted with a fan brush and Moonglow Starburst Stains in delphinium turquoise and ponderosa pine olive in a criss-cross fashion allowing to dry between coats to add a feeling of depth.  As usual the mica shimmer cannot be seen on the photos but looks very nice in real life.

Next the fish stamp was selectively inked with Marvey le Plume II pens in yellow, violet and blue and stamped once. Another image of the fish was stamped in Versafine onyx black as shown.  Some little reeds were hand cut from lime green card and adhered with glue stick and the word 'fishy' applied with black rub-ons.

Finishing touch was to add some bubbles with Smooch molasses pearlised accent ink.
