Fish-Themed Thank You Card

Hey everybody, happy Tuesday – I hope you’re having a great week! Leslie here with you today, sharing a tutorial for making a clean and simple fish-themed thank you card. This card features a 110# Solar White A2 Folded Card Base and a variety of cardstock from our Pop Tone line. I used Berrylicious, Red Hot, Orange Fizz, Banana Split, Gumdrop Green, and Grape Jelly. LOVE the colors of this cardstock. And the weight is perfect for layering and punching or die cutting elements for your projects. I also used a stencil and shimmer spray from my stash for the sea water. Awesomeness overload!

Card Base & Front Panel

Start by grabbing a 110# Solar White A2 Folded Card Base.

Next, cut a panel of Pop Tone Berrylicious for the front.

Create Background

Secondly, use a water/wave/sea stencil and shimmer spray on the panel of Berrylicious and set it aside for a few minutes to dry.

Adhere Front Panel

Adhere the sprayed panel to the front of the card base.

Stamp Fish

Cut small pieces of Red Hot, Orange Fizz, Banana Split, Gumdrop Green, and Grape Jelly cardstock, and stamp a fish on each one. If you have a smaller fish stamp pointing in the opposite direction, stamp one of them, too. Gotta have a rebel in the crowd, lol!

Afterwards, punch or die cut all the stamped fish.

Add Stamped Coral & Sentiments

Additionally, stamp some coral and a sentiment in black ink on the front panel.

Also stamp a sentiment in black ink on the inside of the card base.

Adhere Fish

Following this, adhere all the fish you stamped earlier, popping some of them up on foam squares.
