Colorful Fish in a sleepy blue ocean...

Rainbow fish

Welcome! I've changed it up a bit and made a fish card instead of a moose card.

I found this stamp at a local thrift store and decided he needed rescuing. It was a pretty dirty stamp so after cleaning it up I unmounted it from the wood block to use with my MISTI (Most Incredible Stamp Tool Invented) stamp tool. And I did need to stamp him several times for good coverage on the Ranger watercolor paper and that's where the MISTI shines!  I'm not sure the kind of fish this is but I decided he needed to be in bright blue water (thanks to Ranger distress inks and Perfect Pearls for shimmer) and he himself (I'm assuming it's a he since most "he's" in nature are the more flamboyant colored) is as colorful as you can get! I used a Colorbox rainbow pad to stamp him and he's glittery everywhere there is color with a Wink of Stella glitter pen. I used sequins again *gasp* for his eyes (a clear and a green) and bubbles. I also added Ranger enamel in black for his pupil in the green sequin. I was going to give this a bold message but wanted him to take center stage so I made it just a sweet simple message from Papertrey Ink.

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.
