CTMH O-fish-ally Awesome SOTM Blog Hop - April 2020

Welcome to the April 2020 SOTM Blog Hop featuring the stamp set O-fish-ally Awesome. This month there are just over 20 Consultants sharing projects created with the CTMH Stamp Of The Month O-fish-ally Awesome. Our blog hop is a circle; visiting the next blog (typically via a link near the bottom of their post) will take you back to where you started.

O-fish-ally Awesome Stamp Set

While I love this set, I had some trouble focusing on what I wanted to create with it. Maybe it has to do with everything happening in our world right now. I also saw so many shaker cards created with this set. They were all wonderful, but I wanted to create something different. I thought about using the Stitched Rectangle Frames Thin Cuts (Z4260), but unfortunately I have misplaced them in my crafty mess. I was thinking of cutting the largest size from Silver Foil Paper (Z3366) to create the illusion of a large fish tank. As time ticked away, I ended up creating something a little simpler.

I used the Watercolor Pencils to color, but I used them dry; I did not add water.
