Just Keep Swimming....


I have a card today that was made with a retired Deedees Digis digital stamp set which includes a mason jar and pre-colored digital mini fish. After printing, I colored the jar, lid, and water in the jar with Spectrum Noir markers. The sentiment was computer generated, and in keeping with the watery theme, I added some random bubbles, die cut with a Memory Box Loopy Rings die and some matching Spectrum Noir colored snippets of paper. The image panel was die cut with a Lil Inker stitched rectangle, and I added some matching twine that came with a mail order (which I saved for future use). The card base is cool caribbean (yep, I still have 2 sheets remaining in my stash of that long-favored colored cardstock) with a celery green mat between the 2 panels.

I'm entering this into the Words2CraftBy challenge #31 which is "just keep swimming."

Thanks for stopping by and while summer's here, I hope you'll just keep swimming too. Have a great day!

That is the cutest mason jar I've ever seen with those darling little fish. I miss Deedee and her drawings so much. I love your little rings and that perfectly matching twine. Hope you are cooling down this weekend, we are here. Enjoy the day.

Such a cute card, I really love those turquoises and how you added the perfectly coordinated bubbles. The sentiment you thought up is really nice too.

LOL, this is adorable, but now I have Dory in my head, singing, "Just keep swimming" from Finding Nemo!!! Sweet, sweet card!

Just keep swimming, that's good advice. This is a cute card with all those little goldfish. I like the random bubbles, especially the one circling part of the greeting.

Love it...we all have times where we just have to keep swimming!

The blue cardstock colour is the colour I painted my craft room. It is so cool and relaxing!
