Every time I see this sentiment, that little song from Finding Nemo keeps floating in my head: "just keep swimming, just keep swimming..."
This card was done for The Alley Way Stamps' Be Inspired challenge #21. The inspiration photo probably should have sent me the Valentine's route, but I decided to focus more on color. I like how the red just pops out there among the white and cookie-brown. This school of fish seemed like a good choice -- after all, every school has someone who swims in a different color, doesn't it?
The fish are colored with pencils, and I used glossy accents on the bubbles to give them a little dimension. Fish and sentiment are freebies you can get on the TAWS blog (follow link to challenge). There's a single fish, too -- in fact, Alley did the single fish and one of the users manipulated it into the school. Alley thought it was so cool, she shared that file as well.
