Less is More Fishy
Posted: August 7, 2012 Filed under: CAS, Penny Black, Wishing You 39 Comments
The challenge at Less is More this week is to use blue and green in a card. What better subject for a blue and green card than the ocean. I made the card below first because I wanted to try a narrow image panel then, because it worked, I did the same thing with a larger panel.
I masked first then sponged in blues and greens keeping the lightest sponging and shades at the top. When the panel was covered I used a straight strip of post-it to sponge rays with the lightest green, Memento New Sprout. Finally I dropped some water on the panel and added my fishy happy birthday stamp.
Supplies:
Stamps: Wishing You (PB)
Inks: Memento New Sprout, Bamboo Leaves, Bahama Blue Nautical Blue & Teal Zeal (Tsukineko)

Inventive brain? Oh, yeah. WOW result? Oh, yeah.
One word: Gorgeous. Thanks for sharing. And explaining how you did the technique.
OMG! You’re so TALENTED! xo, Marian
The shading in this is fabulous Heather.. the impression of the sunlight filtering through the water is wonderful.
I actually rather like the narrow panel best, but both are wonderful!
Thanks so much

PS…having a group to my house on the 19th and we are going to give your one-layer cards a go…thanks so much for always letting us know how you do your creations!!!
Oh my, Heather, this technique is so very beautiful … A work of art! Did you say that you use a piece of post-it (paper) to move your ink around? I would love to see a video of that, do you have one? Have you given online classes? I would love to learn how you did this, even though I know I do not have a thimble-full of your talent!
Fondly,
