Digi Doodle Shop Challenge # 4

Happy Thursday, peeps! I am excited to show you my card for Digi Doodle Shop color challenge. I thought the card came out pretty cute and fun looking.  I just loved, loved the way the puffer fish look. Truly, this fish make me smile everytime I look at it, because it just look so darn cute! There's 4 images in this one set and you can get it here.

What's  the challenge? For this week it's color challenge. Create any card, using any stamps you want (although if you use Digi Doodle stamps, you get extra point), using this color combo: robin blue, grass green, buttercup yellow, and a neutral color (could be white or kraft).

For my card, I resize the puffer fish in several different sizes, colored them with Prismacolor pencils, then cut them all one by one. Attached 3 of the fish with pop dots and the other 2 just glued directly to the paper. Of course, I couldn't do fish without glossy accents. Isn't it cute how the biggest puffer fish looks so shiny. And, I thought the greeting is perfect. "Blowing birthday wishes"...., see how the puffer fish looks like their blowing?? Blowing wishes.... Maybe I am silly, but I was giggling when I thought about it. LOL.




I got the idea for the card from Clean & Simple FTL86 sketch. It's simple sketch, but I love it. It was a very fun sketch. And I did turn it vertically, instead of doing it horizontally like the sketch shown. And this card also perfect for Paper Play Challenge this week.
So, come on over to Digi Doodle Shop's Best Challenge blog to get all the details and join us for a fun color challenge. remember, you don't have to use our stamp, but if you do, you'll get an extra point. And the prize... free stamps! You have 1 week to enter this challenge and I can't wait to see what you come up with. :) Hugs, Vera.
