I made this card yesterday for the Teapot Tuesday and Color challenges on Splitcoaststampers, but I'm just now getting a chance to put it up on my blog. Philsmom was the Teapot Tuesday hostess and had this cute teapot for our inspiration (scroll down to post #8 after clicking on the link to see the teapot). This is a gel card to simulate bubbly water. You put just a tad of clear hair gel into a baggie. ...kinda cool, huh? There's a great tutorial on Splitcoast here if you want to try this technique yourself.
These goofy lookin' fishies are a great stamp by Rubbernecker. There are lots of fun fish stamps and sentiments to choose from.
I used my Copic sketch markers to color the fish and then I added stickles and glitter pen touches to each one. Real Red, Kraft, and Bermuda Bay were the color challenge colors on SCS. I had to substitute Cool Caribbean for the Bermuda Bay. I made my matted frame with rectangle Nestabilities.
Have a great evening and thanks for stopping by!

So cute!! Haven't done a gel card in about 300 years! Sure do have hair gel...thanks for the inspiration!
So I need to get hair gel as well as shaving foam, ha ha.
Hope all goes well post-operation. Anything at all going wrong with sight is a scary thought! Your hungry fishies remind me of a computer game I had with piranhas in it.
I have these stamps too. You know how much I love fun stamps! I love the frame you made, and the gel filling! Great job. Glad the surgery went well! PHEW!
Very fun card Charlene. Hope all goes well with your hubby's doctor's appointment today.
This is absolutely stunning Charlene!! The bubbles are perfect. Love how you created with the bubble water with hair gel. Too fun! Gorgeous!
