Fintastic!!!!

Hello!!

Its me again! 

Just wanted to share my recent favorite creation with you all!!

A super CUTE card using a Super Duper cute Paper Smooches stamp set...

First of all I want you all to check out the "Fintastic" part of the sentiment...I used a special inking technique to give it a scaly look. I inked up the stamp and gentle made marks on it with a toothpick.

The cute dolphin image is from Paper Smooches-Briny Blue set.

I used sentiments from PS-Birthday Buddies set to make my new sentiment.

Just added a lil' bit of October Afternoon paper and some Timeless Twine Baker's twines.

Glossy accents on the dolphin gives the wet shine to it.

This card is for the following challenges..

Paper Smooches SPARKS: Designer draft.

Papertake Weekly: Hello Boy.

Hope you all like this card as much as I do!!
