April Stamp of the Month Blog Hop - O-fish-ally Awesome

Welcome!

Glad you could join us today!  A blog hop is just one big loop of fun and creative ideas. So if you're joining me here, grab your beverage of choice, and sit back ready to be inspired by creative ideas for using this new Close To My Heart stamp of the month.  If you are coming here from

Darlys' blog , you are on the right path.  At the end of this post you will see a link to Katy's blog for you to continue following the hop.  

The stamp of the month, O-fish-ally Awesome, is a set of 37 stamps that will be wonderful for designing cards or scrapbooks pages.  As you go through this hop, you'll see lots of creative and fun ideas for using this stamp set.  

O-fish-ally Awesome is available only through the month of April.  After seeing all the great ideas in this blog hop, you're going to want to add this to your stamp collection.  You can purchase this set for $18.95, or get it for only $5 with a qualifying order of $50 (US) through your Close To My Heart consultant or find it here  .

This is such a fun stamp set to play with!  For my project I made several cards.  I haven't been making too many shaker cards lately, so I was playing around with those.  I thought the "just keep swimming" phrase would be a good one to include in cards I will be sending to some friends during this time of social isolation.

I used papers from the Seas The Day Paper pack, Intense Black Ink, Watercolor paints, Waterbrush, and various Tri-Blend markers,  for all of the cards I'm sharing today.  For the shaker cards, I used the CTMH shaker window products .

Here's a closer look.

Here' a close-up of the inside.  You might be able to see the Liquid Glass that I 

used on the bubbles to make it look like water bubbles.

And on to the shaker cards

The brown "sand" is ripped Kraft paper with the sand stamp from this set.  

I put some 3-D foam tape to raise it a little and create some depth..

Thanks for stopping by today.
