"Best Fishes"



I thought I would try my hand at a few challenges since I am stuck on the sofa for a few weeks.  Turns out it is harder to craft flat on your back with your foot elevated than I thought it would be - makes everything a little more interesting so these challenges are just that CHALLENGES - lol
 
I made these cards using this fun and super cute stamp set from Close To My Heart
 Under The Sea

 
You can get this set for FREE this month with the purchase of two other C size stamp sets (all retail for only $13.95)!  Stampaganza - buy two get one FREE - last through the entire month of June :)



(insert images into post)

I combined several challenges to make this card using the sketches from  Frosted Designs (the twine along the bottom with the squared edges) and My Favorite Things (the three panels and the squared design) 



Thanks for stopping by!  I love to read each one of your comments.  

Participating in the following challenges:
My Favorite Things - sketch
Frosted Designs - sketch
The Pink Elephant - vibrant colors
Paper Crafting Journey - color it up (hand colored the stamped fish)
Totally Papercrafts - doodle (I drew the seaweed using copics and faux stitching around each of the panels)
Pile It On - Let's Get Outdoors
Cute Card Thursday - water water everywhere
A Homespun Affair - color challenge

    This is such a cute card! Even though you are 'challenged' at the moment with your foot-elevation situation, you've managed to do a great job! Your coloring is especially impressive given your current situation! :-) Thank you so much for joining the Frosted Design Card Sketch Challenge. Please play along again next time! I cant't wait to see what you create when you are upright. ;-) Beverly

    Your cards are cute... especially considering that you are making them while lying down. Hope that you recover soon with you foot/ankle injury.
