Fishy Hugs

 Hello Crafty Friends!

I've been working on creating more Paper Hugs to send out these days.  It makes me feel better to brighten someone's day by sending out some surprise greetings.  Who doesn't love getting something other than bills and ads in the mail, huh?

For todays card, I used the stamp set called Sushi Bowl Party by Stampendous and my greeting is from the Ranger Letter It set called Greetings.

I used my Picketfence Studios Blending Brushes to 

add Distress Oxide ink in the 

color Salty Ocean to a white panel.  I used my Copic Sketch 

Marker in Y13 to add a yellow border to another 

white panel and added all those panels to my card base.  

I almost forgot....over the top of the ink blended layer, I 

used the Heffy Doodle Stencil called First 

Snow and some Gina K Glitz Glitter Gel in iridescent

for the "bubbles" on the blue layer.

I stamped my fish onto white cardstock using Memento Black ink. I colored them using Copic Sketch Markers in BG11, B000, BG75, BG18, Y18, Y13, YR14, YR27, YR02, Y00, YG01, YG05, YG 09.  These little guys are so fun to color!

Heat embossed my greeting onto black card stock using my white superfine embossing powder from SSS.  Also to be noted, I couldn't find the right color embellishments so I went ahead and colored some clear stones with my coordinating Copic Markers.  I added those as accessory bubbles for my cute little fishies. 

Thank you for reading and I hope my card inspires you to create a paper hug to send someone you care about!
