Fish You Were Here!


 Hi bloggers!  Here's a cute underwater themed Slimline card!  I started by cutting the Slimline Decorative Oval Aperture Trio die set out of white card.  I added mounting foam to the back to raise it.  Using the Ocean Waves layering dies, I cut them in Arctic Blue and Blue Dusk and layered them, added a white backing.  I attached these to the two side ovals.  Using the Underwater Accessories die set, I added seaweed, a turtle, a seahorse and some small fish on the top of the Ocean Waves, gluing them in from the front of the card.  I stamped the Fish You Were Here sentiment on a piece of arctic blue card, covered it with a sticky adhesive piece, then glittered it with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz.  I added the sentiment behind the centre window oval.  The card was completed with white and arctic blue mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 4 3/4"  x  9 1/4" in size.  All for now.

    Lol like what you've done there and love your inspiration too. These frames are the most brilliant little newcomers providing us with lovely peekaboo apatures for all our tiny dies which you've provided us with over the years. I had a very excited amusing video from a very excited amusing 5yr old that received her penguins polar bears and igloo's in the post yesterday so thank you Sue for making a nanny and her poppet very happy. I wish you and all our blog friends happiness today, please stay safe and well xxx

    Good Morning Sue. What a brilliant card today Sue. Fabulous for all the Dads and mens cards. The apertures can be used with any of your other miniature dies like the barbeque ... animal and D.I.Y. dies
    I used my winning slimline rectangle die yesterday, for our friend's birthday ... who lives in The Netherlands ... What a lovely frame it gave me and still plenty of space to decorate with embellishments and sentiment. Along with a premade pixie powder background from my stash. I was so pleased with it. So Thankyou 2 fold this morning Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.

    PLEASE STAY EXTRA SAFE EVERYONE 🙏 🙏 🙏

    Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
