I created this card for Designs by Ryn using her new Sea Creatures line. The new line is awesome, I especially like the texture of the Bubbles. They will be added to her website at the end of April.
The background for this card was created by blending Smooch inks- Frosted Aqua, Pool & Lettuce. I stamped over the smooch inks with Ryn's "Sea Bubbles Set CM-S15" with Brilliance Gold and then again with Memento Bamboo Leaves. The Angel Fish - "Wanda CM-S7" was stamped and embossed with gold on water colour paper and then painted with my Tom bow markers & water. I cut her out and popped her up onto the background. I added a few pearls and layered onto co-ordinating cardstock.
The wonderful quote is by Impression Obsession C5053 - "Voice of the Sea" which was embossed with Jade powder.
I recall a movie that was out in the Eighties titled a 'Fish named Wanda' , it's a hilarious comedy. Nothing to do with this card of coarse but it came to mind when I saw that Ryn named this Angel fish 'Wanda' :)
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Hi Shirley,
I am awful busy at the moment so I don't leave comments frequently, I saw your beautiful fish and the background swirls are lovely! Could not discover the new stamps at the website of Ryn but maybe they are coming..it's a beautiful coloured card! sunny greet, Miranda
This is gorgeous Shirley!! The colors certainly speak of the ocean. I'm so glad I live on the coast! The background reminds me of polished stone. I haven't used smooch inks, now I'm intrigued.
You know you are good when you can make a card this good when you are jet lagged! You convinced me that I should buy some colored smooch inks next time I go shopping! Love the background and those bubbles and sentiment!
Hugs

Shirley you did a beautiful job again with my stamps!!! I am so lucky to have you as a part of my design team :)I couldn't resist naming this fish Wanda after the movie. haha, I was wondering if anyone would notice.
Hi Shirley!
WOW this one is REALLY nice!! What a nice fish and terrific background with those very cool bubbles! Really great! Love the colours as well, what a nice combination! Great tropical colours for the fish too, what a nice card, very pleasing to the eye! Very very nicely done!
Warm greetings from Marlene :)
Hi Shirley: This card makes me think of snorkelling in Bahamas - gorgeous colours and nice, inspirational verse to go with the fishie.
I was reading that you have an Aunt in the Netherlands and you visit her there. My daughter was an exchange student with Rotary International and lived in Zeist, Nederlands for a year in 1995. We visited her for two weeks and toured all over Holland - my gosh, such a beautiful country and friendly people. We have fond memories of our time there, and someday,I would love to go back.

The whole card makes you want to go for a swim! Love those bubbles, the fish, and that BG too!!
