Hi crafters! It's a fun sort of card for a Monday morning! I started with a piece of coconut white card and stamped my sentiment at the top centre of the card. I used the inside of the fishbowl die and traced it lightly with a pencil. I stamped the cat from the
Fishbowl Friends stamp set so that it was partially inside the fishbowl area and outside to the right of it. I coloured the cat then cut an aperture on the pencil line, saving the inside piece for later. Using the round treat cup, I filled it with clear hand sanitiser and sealed it by gluing
acetate over the top and allowing it to dry well. I taped the treat cup in place through the aperture. I embossed the inside aperture cut out piece using the
Ocean Waves Pinpoint embossing folder. I cut a couple of fish out of blue card and two seaweed pieces of out green card. I used the matching stamps to add detail to the fish, then glued all the pieces on to the embossed aperture piece. I added that to a larger square of white card then taped it behind the treat cup making sure that the cat would line up with the original stamp on the background. I attached the original background over the front of the treat cup, lining up the cat, then inked lightly around the edge with
Tumbled Glass. I cut a Fishbowl and inked it with
Tumbled Glass before attaching it over the top of the treat cup. I made a table for the fishbowl to sit on by folding a piece of
kraft card then adding some thin strips as legs. I cut the
Bermuda die out of white and backed it in white, then cut it in half down the centre. I added a score line to help fold it over the table so it looked like a table cloth draping from it. I completed the card with white on white pierced mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 7" in size. All for now, Sue x

What a lovely card to start the week off, it's fun and happy, simply gorgeous.
June, hope your workshop went well, and that you had a great time.
Elaine, hope all is well with you and the family. How is Jihn doing. Has your new neighbour moved in yet.
Rosemary, if you are increasing the meds does that mean you are starting to adjust to them, hooe the seizures are under control soon.
Laine, you are starting to sound better already, I hope so, lovely lady.
Donita, you are lovely, you have such a way with words. I'm sorry I scared you so much. I had a better day yesterday, thank you all for your kind wishes.
Alimecca, do you live in Seaham. Seaham front is a.beautiful place, my favourite ice cream shop Lickety Splits and the big brass memorial Tommy, gorgeous place to spend a few hours.
Pat, glad you enjoyed your flower arranging day with your friends, I'm sure Mr L managed just perfectly, dare I say, glad of the peace.
My daily hugs to all, thanks fir being so caring just when a person needs it, you are all there.. Thinking of our poorly and missing friends.
Ingenious. I love it xx
This is awesome stunning and fantastically brilliant. love it Sue. Have a great day, hugs xxxxxxxxxxx

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh what a lovely card to wake up to on this very miserable and wet morning in Kent, it is raining hard here. Look at that little cat's face, it is so cute, love it.
Pam I reiterate all you have said, and yes I had a great time yesterday, made a lovely landscape card using the London scene (bought from Joanna Sheen) and also using the pebeo gum - I enjoyed that, then we made a bag with flowers decorating it and a she card to match. Mind you I was so tired when I got home. Pleased to hear that yesterday was a better day for you. Also I had to look up Seaham on Google as I had never heard of it, it looks a lovely little place and the Lickety Splits ice cream shop sounds a lot of fun, I saw a statue of what looks like a fisherman, could that have been Tommy, will have to have another look.
Still got to make my twin sisters 70th birthday card yet, I think I have an idea now, only 6 days to go.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs June Smith xxx
Morning Sue.
Thank you a really cute card.
Take care all and have fun Kitty.
Dear Sue and Crafters All,
Who knew one could get a lovely tablecloth in Bermuda! Such a clever card, and happy, too.
Margaret Rogers, your husband must have robbed the cradle!
Bert the Dalmatian is a good name.
Today I saw a black lab puppy in a red shopping cart. Made my day. She was eight weeks old and very well-behaved, although they were buying accident pads for their floor.
My cat and I have survived the flea-bombing of our house.
Rosemary Powell, I'm going to write down your line and use it for encouragement.
I think NASA is going to Facebook Live the eclipse.
Enjoy your week.
Love,
Donita

Good morning Sue,
Your beautiful card made me smile today-the cat has the same colouring as my dear Noah who is curled up on my bed as I type! We have also just taken delivery of a marine and tropical fish tanks as our daughter has moved back home, so a very fitting card! X
Hi June, Tommy is a WW1 soldier in full uniform sitting with his rifle, tin hat, greatcoat and the legging strips they had to wear to protect their legs. It is an amazing monument and it was on loan fir a while to Seaham. The people loved it so much it was bought and us is a permanent war memorial. Lickety Splits is a 50's style American Ice Cream Parlour, ice cream to die for.
GM Sue. Such a cute card. Love it.
This is gorgeous I've seen you do this on Hochanda haven't I

Hi Sue
A very happy card the cat lovers would appreciate this one .
Pam , so pleased you had a better day yesterday , John has had his appointment through regarding his memory problem for the 14th Sept , it can't come quick enough for me i tell you , i do hope they can give him some medication to help .It is very hard following him around making sure he turns taps off and takes the plug out of the sink , yesterday he left the front door keys in the lock a visitor to the flats kindly knocked on and handed them to me , it saddens me to see he can't handle his money anymore and tell the right time .
Andrew and Helen are away to the caravan today , hoping to spend the week if Andrew is well enough, he has another scan coming up on the 4th sept .
Mary is still waiting for the date her treatment starts .
I had a letter from the Housing asking me if i had thought to buy a mobile walker that is lighter than the one i have as it maybe easier to handle getting in through the door , what ? the one i bought was nearly £100 , they are working with a wage , we are not ,i could not possibly afford to buy another one .
Anyway enough of my problems Pam , i hope you have a very good day and will echo you again today as i have taken up enough space.
Hugs to all my besties , poorly and missing friends .

Hi Sue
What a great fun card today, it made me smile when it popped up. I think it was the look on the cats face and the lace Mat, my gran used to love them and I've got them in a box safe and sound. Mine are a little more modern but I respect the hours that were spent crocheting them. I like the hand sanitiser trick, it makes great water. Thank you for sharing.
Love Diane G xxx
Pam echoing your comments today. Hope today is a better day. I'm off to look at seaham, the icecream shop sounds just up my street!
Donita I hope you enjoyed the eclipse, I heard on the news this morning Bonnie Tyler was going to be singing total eclipse of the heart on a cruise ship during the eclipse, my daughter and I thought that was perfect. Xxx
Love this card Sue. Very different and such fun.
So cute - love it. Thank you Sue.
This is very cute :)

Your kitty cat makes me laugh. What a fun card!
Hi Sue, Woweeeeee !! Thank you for another inspiration for my fishbowl stamps and dies. I adore how you have created the lacy tablecloth, so very effective, I love it !!

Hello Sue.
Ha ha ha, this is so typical of cats. it is such a cute card. Great dies, they make a great table cloth. Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes
Hi Sue and everyone.
Pam glad you are feeling a little better.
Elaine. I know how hard it is checking up on your husband. My mother in law is the same, there maybe medication John can take. Glad Andrew is well enough to go to the caravan.I am thinking of you all and sending love and hugs.
Donita did you enjoy the eclipse? I remember when it happened here I was too at work looking out of the window. I thought it was a bit scarry.!! Sending love and hugs also to dear Crewe Trish and family.
Yesterday went to my daughter's for lunch and for my Jacket Russell Dylan to meet my daughter's new Leecher Lionel
Was a bit of fun as my dog is very protective of me and my husband and my daughter but by the time we left there was a spark that they may just get on eventually!
Love and hugs to you all xxxxxxxxxxx
This scene reminds me of feeding my fish every morning and night. All three of my kitties show up anju,p on top of the tank hoping to catch a treat of their own while the fish are distracted! No treats captured yet even though the cats are trying hard!
I love the soft and delicate coloring on the front of the card and the cat and fish are colored beautifully! TFS! It is so pretty
Hello Sue
It's such a cute card the only trouble is my family don't have cats.I have had a tired day today the rheumatoid arthritis medication does that so I have been making Christmas cards.
Pam I am glad you are feeling a little better look after yourself and take it easy.Elaine what a cheek I can't see how getting a lighter walker will help you through the door.Donita and Rosemary hugs
Hi Sue. I love this cat stamp, you can tell exactly what he is thinking. You showed a similar card on the blog before and I loved that one too (as I am a cat lover).

Really cute card today. Love that cat! It reminds me of one that we had when I was about 5 or 6, it used to sit and watch the goldfish ( or put her paw in to try and catch them!
Pam, no I don't live in Seaham, I live in Ferryhill. Do like going to Seaham though, it's really smartened up in the last few years hasn't it? Haven't tried the ice cream shop yet !!! Glad you're feeling better xx
Love and hugs to all, Alison xx
Hi Sue,
Cute and funny card today! You presented a similar card before but this one, with the table and a table cloth is brilliant.
