Seahorse and Fish Congratulations Card

I'm Card Captain of the enjoyMichaelStrongstamps Yahoo Group for this week, so for 5 days I'll be showing you several works using Michael Strong's stamps. I hope you'll find them inspiring.

My 3rd card for this week is a Seahorse and Fish Congratulations Card.

The red background paper is a leather textured CS.

I cut the 2 paper squares from my son's Scuba Diving license brochure, it had such a unique nautical themed pattern, I just had to re-use it.

I used Michael Strong's Cloisonné Seahorse stamp (large).

I cut the Seahorse using Michael Strong Sea Horses Metal Die Cutter, it cuts like butter.

I colored the Seahorse using ProMarkers, and added a bling for its eye.

I also used the School of Fish stamp from Designs by Ryn.

I added stamps, a used postal stamp with a colorful fish (it's a perfect match), and several pearls to add some glam.

An Ocean of Fun and Adventure Card

I'm Card Captain of the enjoyMichaelStrongstamps Yahoo Group for this week, so for 5 days I'll be showing you several works using Michael Strong's stamps. I hope you'll find them inspiring.

My 2nd card for this week is An Ocean of Fun and Adventure Card.

I used MichaelStrong's Cloisonné Fish stamp (large).

I also used the School of Fish stamp from Designs by Ryn .

My son just got his Scuba Diving license in the mail, so I simply had to recycle the lovely nautical themed paper which came with it.

I created the background by stamping over that paper, and added some Washi Tape and a postal stamp.

I stamped Michael Strong's Fish, heat embossed it and cut it, then I added a few pearls which seem like the bubbles coming out of its mouth.

Then I pearls and blings to add some glam.
