Hooked on a Feeling...

Here's a card with Gina's cuties from "Best Fishes". That juicy little fish pucker was begging to kiss somebody and I realized how funny it would look pressed up to the seahorse, his eyes are about to pop out of his head LOL! I cut a window out of my embossed (Dots and Spots) Berrylicious base (Paper Temptress) with my heart Nestabilities, inside I stamped them on a heart the same size and framed it up with a scalloped heart. I held my classic die in place so I could sponge on some Cool Caribbean ink for water and then colored them both with Copics. I added a little Crystal Lacquer to the lips and eyes and Copics Spica sparkle to their fins. Outside I stuck on some adhesive page pebbles and mirrors to complete the "under the sea" look.

Inside I stamped the bubbles form the set and then drew a little heart bubble above covering them all with Crystal Lacquer. This inside would work just as well as a simpler "outside" of a card.

One element I really like on this card is the little hook going through the heart tag (made with the Marvy punches) with the "hooked on you" greeting (see top pic), that's an earring fishhook you can find in the jewelry section of any craft store, inexpensive fun "fishing bling" to got with your sea stamps (and no sharp tip!) I would have liked to have threaded some fishing line or wire through it and wrap it around the top of the card a few times to complete the design, but didn't have any at the time I needed to photograph the card for our release. (Today I found some plain white thread in my sewing basket that will work just fine) :)

What are YOU hooked on? For me, one thing is American Idol! (although I'm not hooked on any one person yet)
