A trio of something
Hello everyone,This is my first time participating the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge as a guest designer!
I will do this the whole month of April and I'm very exited to do this.
The first theme for April is: 'A trio of something'
What I like to do is give it a little twist. As well with the theme as what I'm showing.
For this I used some bright colours. Very different from what I normally use. But hey, always challenging myself ;-)
I used these 3 main colours:
The Ranger Dylusions BUBBLEGUM PINK Shimmer Spray, Ranger Dylusions Ink Spray LEMON ZEST Dyan Reaveley, Ranger Dylusions Ink Spray CALYPSO TEAL Dyan Reaveley
And for the edges Ranger Dylusions Ink Spray BLACK MARBLE Dyan Reaveley
For the 'Flower Fishes' I used a flower stamp from Heidi Swapp MAGNOLIA JANE.
In here there's a little twist that I used the flowers as fishes. Adding the white bubbles let it looks like they are under the water. I coloured their 'tales' with a mixture of the three ink colours I used for the background.
For the texture I used orange and red embossing powder.
To create some depth under water I used a black Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Crayon.
If you look closely you can see I gave a vague dark background effect with the Tim Holtz Layering Stencil DOTTED as if there are big bubbles.
For the white accents, highlights and bubbles I used the Sakura WHITE MEDIUM POINT Gelly Roll Classic Gel Pen
At the end I added a text and here also there's a little twist with regard to the theme ;-) The text stamps are also from the Heidi Swapp MAGNOLIA JANE set.
I hope you enjoyed reading my manual for my project and hope to see you again!

What a beautiful, colourful piece you have created Paula and how clever to turn the flowers into fish! Congratulations on being guest designer at Simon Says Stamp!

The roses really look like fishes (now that I know they are fishes, lol) and the water bubbles are an awesome idea.
