Oceans of Joy

It's hard for me to resist buying any stamp set that has fish in it.  I turn away as quick as I can so as not to be tempted, but this Hero Arts set, Oceans of Joy, had me from "hello!"  I couldn't walk away.

I love that it can be used for several different occasions, paper-pieced, colored in, or blinged up! Here's a card I created for one of our teachers that retired.  He is an avid fisherman and intended on spending his retirement fishing as often as possible.  I thought the sentiment was perfect.

The paper was from my stash and I fussy cut the edges to highlight the waves.  I used some Stickles to make the top sparkle.  I colored in the fish with my Aquacolor pencils and blended with the Dove blender pen, then popped him up to give the card some dimension.

Thanks for dropping by today!  I'd love for you to leave me a link to any other "fishy" stamps you love!  Please enable me!
