Birthday Fishes - Fab Friday @ Tiddly Inks

Last Friday of March! This month went by pretty fast for me. Saw the end of my ice scheduling job until late August and the end of hockey for two of my kiddos. (The third is playing spring hockey on a tournament team, is in a 3 on 3 league, has tryouts and is attending a hockey camp. So, I've still got hockey goin' on.) Ball doesn't start until May so it's a bit slower around here for extra curriculars. No breather though as it's our business's busiest time, and my workload there at least quadruples. No complaints.....just less time for crafting!

But, I did get this project in. I'm thinking about using it as a birthday card for my daughter. Here it is.....


I used Birthday Fishes.  Comes with the sentiment and an extra fishie too.  Made a bit of a scene behind her....used some cork and some glitter paper.  Not 100 % happy with the embossing.....it's supposed to look like sun rays coming down through the ocean....not sure if that's obvious without the explanation or not.  Of course, I picked up an embossing folder that would have worked perfectly basically as soon as I got this done.  Isn't that always the way?

Anyhoo, do go check out the other Fabby Friday makes the rest of the DT has come up with.  You can see 'em right here.

Also for:

As You Like It:  line or no lines - Lines for me.  I'm too chicken to try no lines.  Plus I'm not sure no lines would even work with my style of colouring.

    It does look like rays of sunshine under the ocean, but I share your pain at finding just the right thing as soon as you've finished something! Beautiful colouring and I love the cork in the little scene behind her. Fabulous - thank you so much for sharing your art at Left of Center challenges.

Okay, so ever since I started my blog (well, maybe not right from the get-go, it was probably a good six months or so before I realized you could change it from just "Leave your comment") I've tried to come up with something witty to type here.

*sitting with brow furrowed in concentration*...*staring at the ceiling while pursing lips*...*resting with head on hand while tapping foot*...

Nope, I still got nothing.
