Now, let's get on  to the card. For my first card, I combined all Large Dahlia 12 & 3 set. I colored all of them with Copic, then arrange them on the card base and adhere with pop dots. For the sentiment, I used the sentiment from a previous release set Dearest Peony.  And, for finishing touches I added some sequin mix from Cotton Candy Puff Couture Mix.




Now, this next card is a fun one. I use the Beautiful Bettas set. I stamped it with Arctic Sky and then layered it with Parisian Blue. Then as usual, I reached for my Copic to add some extra colors. Now, for the background, I cut a way pattern from a piece of scrap paper and then use it as a guideline to create some wavy shading. It's really soft (click on the pic to see the card on bigger scale), but I hope you can see some wavy shadow behind the fish. For the water bubble I dotted some enamel drops.
