Fantail Goldfish with Distress Inks

I'm working my way through the Online Classes from Tim Holtz called Creative Chemistry 101 again. All of us that have taken the classes before are doing reviews before the new one, 103 begins in August. I think it is great to redo these lessons and I decided to apply one to a completed card. I started with watercolor paper and did the Distress Inks smooshed onto the craft sheet with added water technique. I added several layers and then stamped the fantail goldfish by Dove Art Studious for C.C. Designs and fussy cut them out. Then, I did a second watercolored version with different blues and edged with a darker blue for the background. The fish are added with dimensional foam, I added some Glossy Accents to the eyes and for some bubbles in the water. I backed it with a piece of Tim Holtz/Ranger Distress Collection paper and attached to a A2 card base. Love this technique!

Heels from DoveArt Designs

Favorite colors is the optional twist over at The Outlawz' Twisted Thursday.  I am definitely a "red" girl, although my favorite color is usually the one I have in my hand at the moment! These fun shoes are from Jennifer Dove and I was lucky enough to take a class with here where we worked with this image. Do take a look at all her wonderful stamps by clicking on her name, or Heels for this specific stamp. Copic Markers were used to color the shoes.
