You're Fintastic Shaped Card

I am so excited about this challenge.  What fun!  The challenge at  http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.com was to make a Shaped Card!  Yes, not your average rectangle or square but a shaped card. I knew immediately  what I wanted to do. I created a FISH SHAPED card.:


This card was pretty simple to make.  I simply folded a piece of cardstock, cut out a fish shape and embossed it with my Fiskar's template.  I used my computer to print the words "You're Fintastic" onto a piece of vellum, ran it through my Xyron and adhered it to the base.  I added a bit of colored pencil around the edges of the bubbles to add definition and attached a black brad for an eye.  I cut a smaller version of the fish from white cardstock to use inside the card as a writing space.
 Thank you so much for visiting!

  5. Wow Brenda there's nothing simple about this! I think you did more than just fold the card and cut a fish shape. This is beautifully done and I'm sure you could make money by selling a template of this!
