Welcome
This card was made for a wee lass turning three - hence the three fish
All stamps were from the Sweet n Sassy Birthday Pals set -
which appears not to be available any longer.
The fish were embossed with silver onto vellum, with a touch of colour added to the cheeks and lips.
The sentiment was embossed directly onto the patterned paper, which was a snippet from my 'promise box'. (I promise I will use it one day).
The patterned paper was adhered to the blue card base, and edged with a snippet of white sparkle card top and bottom, and an extra snippet of blue sparkle card was added to the bottom edge.
The fish were adhered, and I doodled with a silver pen around the edges of the card to frame it.
I added a white insert and cut a wavy edge on it to mimic the waves.
Thank you for all those who left comments and best wishes regarding my surgery - it all went well, and I am down to small dressings now, and they stay on until they "fall off", by which time the stitches will have dissolved too... I get the histology results at my next appointment in 4-5 weeks when I go to the follow up appointment.

Hi Maxine, glad to hear all went well with your surgery. A sweet birthday card for a little one. Love the fun fish... have a wonderful weekend.. Megan
So beautiful Maxine! Happy weekend! All the best for the skin on the nose! Susi
Hello dear Maxine,
Your sweet fishes card is just too cute. I love their lips and the way you added a subtle bit of colour on them. You are an embossing specialist while I just hoard my embossing powders and let my embossing pad dry away. I even bought an embossing inker in the hope that I would revive my love of embossing. The truth is that my older one and I used to spend hours embossing and then she grew up to be a teenager and left it all. And I too lost touch with it. Hopefully I will come back.
Coming back to your lovely card and you - I love the blue card stock you have used. I hope the surgery went well.
Love,
Monica

Super sweet Maxine. Hope all is well after your little surgery and it's not too painful.
A really fun card for a three year old Maxine, those fish really look like they’re a-swimming away there.. love all the bits you’ve added to make the design pop! Well done,
And soooo grateful to the LORD for the skin cancer removals to have gone well, always seems to be something needing to be done health wise doesn’t there!? Comes with getting older.
Sending prayer hugs your way dear sis,

Such a sweet card, Maxine. What a great idea to do the three fishes and the waves inside.

Love the blues and the fishes and the subtile way that the silver embossing reminds me of the glistering of the sun on the water! A beautiful card! Hugs, Gerrina

So cute. I love the silver embossed fishie's swimming in the pretty blue water. I like the use of the white gel pen around them.
Adorable card and love the embossed fishies... My son has a huge fish tank here and we saw for the first time a most gorgeous star fish in it, it was just amazing.
Limited supplies to craft with is annoying after a while and can't wait to get stuck into my craft room again.xx
