365 Cards - Day 58

The challenge today at 365 Cards is "Something's Fishy" - use at least one image of a fish on your card.

I was really excited about this one because I got to use the Life's a Beach Cricut cartridge, and I absolutely LOVE that cartridge!

Here is my submission:


I had some trouble with the outer frame - originally I made it out of a lighter blue which I really liked. However, my daughter and I tried to add some stickles to it, and it warped. So, we gently took that frame off of the card, and cut another one - unfortunately I didn't have any more of the lighter blue paper. I still may take this darker frame off and cut one from chipboard, but I just don't have any more time tonight for that.


Here is a closer picture of the raised fish and the inside of the card:


All of the fish and seaweed came from Lifes a Beach. The "Schools Out" sign is from Locker Talk.

Kelsie is going to give this card to her teacher to thank her for a great school year.

This is a great card, and the teacher will LOVE it! So bright, cheerful, and colorful! Fun all the way. I really like the varieties you put in and the sentiment is probably the best pun I've seen yet!
