Fish You Were Here Fish Bowl Card

Dawn Lusk, here, sharing this Fish Bowl
card from Creative Cuts and More!

When I got this set, Fish You Were Here from Mark's Finest Papers, I knew immediately I had to use CCM's Fish Bowl card! I just love CCM's cardstock too, this is Bazzill Criss Cross.

The scene is colored with Copic markers and adhered to the inside of the A2 card. For a more realistic "fish bowl" look, I added Mudd Puddles sand at the bottom. After letting that dry, I added Glossy Accents to the entire bowl.

*Here's a tip* (found by accident long ago by being impatient!) ...
carefully heat the Glossy Accents and you'll cause bubbles to form!

Thanks for stopping!

How's everything in your bowl?

Here is a fun easy card that you can send to a friend! I filled a Ziplock bag with hair gel, blue ink and dried hot glue drops and adhered it behind the window on the Fishbowl Window Card. I stamped a fish (Stampin' Up!), plant (Heidi Grace) and a crab (Rubber Soul) on a light blue panel and adhered it to the back of the baggie. Inside I stamped: How's everything in your bowl? (Studio G)



Note: the inside sentiment and the fish stamp had words and text so to only stamp the part I wanted I colored the desired image with a black brush tip marker and stamped, It's a great way to get more stamp for your money!
