Best Fishes

Just a quick card for DS's 18th Birthday!  I stamped the Bluegill image from Fred B. Mullett in Versamark, then dabbed on some STAEDTLER Chalk Pastels to add color to the fish.  Once all the fish images had color, I stamped the Bluegill image again using a SAMJ and Black Archival ink.  To fill in the White space, I added the sentiment in Black ink, and dusted off my Spritzer Tool to add some Black flecks.

Here's the BD man opening his presents before he left for work!

    Great card! Great idea to restamp the fish after coloring them, too. They grow up far too fast. Best wishes to your dear son! Yvonne
