Octa The Awesome

 




I used the coloured option for the octopus and coated it with WoS for sparkle.  The fish are stamped on patterned paper snippets, fussy cut & paperpieced, also covered with WoS.  The seaweed is satin fabric trim (isn't it wonderful?) and the bubbles are drop out bits from a previous diecut.  I purposely left bits hanging outside the edge - just because I like it like that!  I thought the background EF looked like waves/water currents.

Digi Image Octopus: Mirtillament    

Fish stamps: unknown

Embossed senti stamp: unknown

EF: Sizzix

Tag die (cut in half): unbranded

Also: Wink of Stella (clear). It is so hard to catch the sparkle in photographs.

    What a fun card Carol - love the image and how you have used it with the satin 'seaweed'. The wee fish are fabulous and who would have thought to use that particular embossing folder as waves - only you and your great creativity. The wee dots are a wonderful extra to this wonderful creation
