Some fishy cards for David & Greg

 Hi all, here this blustery evening with a few fish themed cards. This first one is for my brother - he keeps tropical fish so I thought these dudes from Simply Graphic would do the trick.  I stencilled in some bubbles using my snow stencil and added some metallic silver splatters too. 


Layout from AAA Cards #258 
My Time to Craft #526 hobbies
Allsorts #766 - from the grid I've used stencil / red / green 

And this is Greg's card ... I hadn't realised my stencilling was so wonky until I took the photo

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - anything goes 
Addicted to Stamps #460 - dies / stencil (sorry I can't remember the brand name of either)

For Greg's birthday I treated myself to a couple of days off work (let's face it, any excuse is a good one 😉).  Here's a wee photo of beautiful Ballycastle on a day out - the waves were so rough I could have watched them for hours.  Unfortunately it was blowing a gale and we had an urgent date at the local chippy LOL

These both are fabulous! I am a lover of the sea, so anything nautical is right up my alley. I am sure David will absolutely love your card. Thank you so much for sharing these beauties with us at My Time to Craft

I LOVE your fish cards. And I didn't notice any wonkiness!! The sailor hats on the fish are too funny. I hadn't thought of using a snow stencil for bubbles, but it worked a treat. Thanks for the idea, and have a great week!

Both are absolutely beautiful, hard to choose a favorite and glad I don't have to. I am sure they were both thrilled to receive their cards! Great photo of the waves too!
