Happy Monday!  Today I have a card for you that I used the Sweet Fish from 2 Cute Ink.  This image was new in December and is part of the exclusive digital stamp club images.  The only way to get this image is to join the club.  But, that is super easy to do.  The image comes with three cute little heart bubbles but I used pearls instead for the bubbles.  The background is watercolored with Tombo markers.
I would like to submit this card into these challenges:

Day 5 of the Bugaboo Birthday Bash!


This is Day 5 of the Birthday Bash over at Bugaboo Stamps.  Today they want to see our "funny birthday cards".  Bugaboo has some super hilarious stamps. I choose this super funny Birthday Fishes from Make It Snappy.  I love those lips.  I feel in love with this bright paper and loved pulling these fun colors out to match this cute fish.  I colored the background he is swimming in with glitter and added jewels on the air bubbles.  Have you joined in the birthday fun yet?

Day 4 of the Bugaboo Stamps Birthday Bash


On Day 4 for the Birthday Bash at Bugaboo they are having a Bingo challenge.  I went with the line Birthday Image, Bugaboo Image, and No Designer Paper.  I decided to paint this beautiful Dolphin Duo image by Bugaboo.  I used my Tombo markers, only to find out I had no watercolor paper so I used my X-Press paper.  It didn't work out nearly as well as the watercolor paper so that is now on the craft store list.  I had forgotten how much fun is was to use those markers.  I need to do it again, only with watercolor paper.  I am submitting this card into the Catch the Bug Day 4 challenge.
