Whimsical PaperArtsy Fish Card

 

Hello friends! Ericka from Strangely Creative here, and today I have a fun whimsy card to share with you using the PaperArtsy Kate Crane KC003 set. I absolutely love these playful fish, and they are such a delight to color up!


I started by stamping the fun fish (and a whale) from the PaperArtsy Kate Crane KC003 set onto your cardstock and clear embossing them. I used the Mattints in Dragonfly, Glow, and The Pink to color the images. These colors are vibrant and blend beautifully with a little water. Once the images were colored, I carefully cut them out. This will help them stand out on the card and give a whimsical, layered effect. For the background, I created a quick gel press print using the PaperArtsy Fresco Paint in Sea Glass and South Pacific. This combination gives a lovely, oceanic feel that's perfect for our whimsical fish.

 
 
I then used foam tape to adhere the fish onto the gel press background. I added the fun sentiment to complement the playful theme of the fish. I completed the card with a hand drawn frame. This can be done using a coordinating color or a simple black pen to draw attention to the center of the card.

And there you have it! A fun, whimsical fish card that's sure to bring a smile to anyone's face. Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Feel free to leave a comment below with your thoughts or any questions you might have. Happy crafting!
