I wanted to play with the Fighting Fish (Beta) while I was playing with the Seahorse. The detail of this die is amazing! This fish is also attached to the card base. I used a piece of Rainbow Glimmer behind the fish. (It reminded me of the Rainbow Fish). I really think a darker color looks better. I made the "plain white" version first, but thought it could use a little pizzazz. So made the second version, adding in some coordinating color with the Blending Brushes. Which one do you like better? Have you seen the Rainbow Glimmer paper? It's GORGEOUS! Quite a few of my club members had not noticed it! Be sure to check it out!
Measurements:
- Mango Melody: 1/2 sheet
- Melon Mambo: 4" x 5 1/4"
- Basic White: 3 3/4" x 5"
- Rainbow Glimmer: 3 1/4" x 4", scraps
To Make This Card:
- Fold Mango Melody card in half. Attach Melon Mambo piece.
- Cut "fish from center of White cardstock. Use pokey tool to lift up the center "scales".
- Adhere Rainbow piece behind "fish" opening, then attach to card.
- OPTION: If you wish to burnish in some color, carefully lift the "fins" and add color all around. Switching colors as desired. Then attach to card.
- Cut smaller "fish" from scraps of Rainbow Glimmer paper. Scatter in odd numbers where desired.
- Finish with sequins, gems, or a box of white ribbon colored with Blends.
- Cut "seahorse" from center of White cardstock. Use paper snips to release from White cardstock. Set this piece aside.
- Ink up one Blending Brush with Just Jade. Lightly shade the left side of the "seahorse", darkening the outer edges. Ink up another Blending Brush with Calypso Coral. Lightly shade the "seahorse" belly.
- Attach White base with the seahorse opening onto piece of gold.
- Now, reinsert and adhere the seahorse into the opening. Attach to card with Dimensionals.
- Finish with Genial Gems. 1 large for the "eye" and 4 scattered.
