I worked with the From the Sea Shapeabilities set, a collection of 4 fun dies. My project showcases the fish die cut in a fun way. I cut out and embossed the fish using orange cardstock. I rubbed shimmery white ink over the raised portions of the die cut to highlight them and add some variation to the coloring. This is such a quick and easy way to add more interest to an embossed element.

My fish is swimming in a “sea,” complete with seaweed and waves. The waves are courtesy of some fun patterned paper. The seaweed is made from FlowerSoft wire and Shamrock Green Flower Soft. I coated the wire with Flower Soft glue and sprinkled the green stuff all over it. The seaweed was set aside to dry, then glued on to the patterned paper background. I attached the fish to the scene with foam tape, then placed the scene behind a Flower Soft globe. An embossed layer of coordinating blue cardstock covers the edges of the globe. I added the "just keep swimming" sentiment from the Tropics Sentiment set from Starving Artistamps to complete the card.
