Just Keep Swimming

The April Stamp of the Month, O-fish-ally Awesome, is super cute! The set includes 37 stamps for you to create your favorite underwater or aquarium scenes. I went with super simple to make a card of encouragement.  I found the sentiment really fitting for our current times….we all just need to keep swimming…from a distance of course!  You can add this set to your collection for only $5 with a qualifying purchase. Our warehouse is following all recommendations and we are still able to ship your orders!  Here is a look at the complete stamp set-

To create my card, I stamped my images in Intense Black ink and added colored with Prismacolor pencils.  I blended out the pencils with Gamsol.  The images were fussy cut and applied in layers with 3-D foam tape for added dimension.  I sponged on Carolina Ink onto my cardstock panel for a water effect.  I added a few sequins for bubbles.
