Hello Goldfish

ETA: This card got me picked as the very first featured artist at Paper Blooms!! Woohoo! Check it out!

Today I have another multiple challenge card using The Greeting Farm's Down By The Pond set:


I stamped and colored the goldfish 3 times and then cut out and popped up the pieces with foam tape. You don't need to color all the layers, but sometimes I do anyway so there won't be white parts showing underneath the layer edges. After coloring, I dotted the fish with my colorless blender to make spots that look like scales. I didn't do the face though because I thought it might look creepy.

Here's a shot with flash so you can see the Stardust glitter pen I added:


And here's another close shot so you can see some of the dimension of the fish:


Challenges:
