C4E Challenge #46


I decided for this C4E challenge to go for a male card. I am more comfortable with nice girly ones so this is a bit out of my comfort zone. The optional element for the challenge was to be something beginning with "G" so I have gone for a Goldfish (small but it meets the criteria).
I started by sticking blue Bazzill onto white card and the layering with backing paper from the "Blue Leaves Classic Collection" by Rayher. Then I used "Paper Flair (blues)" by Hot of the Press.
The swirls on the left were cut out on a Cricut Expressions cartridge.
I hope you like the result. Any comments you might want to leave will be welcomed because I get so much out of them.
Hugs,
Fiona x
