Out With the New and in With the Old #14

Today I am showing another underwater scene using my old wooden stamps. I had wanted to use a different fish, but it was so old that the rubber had turned very hard and did not stamp well at all. For the water behind the fish, I used a background from my stash where I had done some paint pouring. I have not done that card technique in ages!

I live near the ocean now and I love making ocean themed cards especially in the summer. I have not used this portal stamp in ages and thought about looking through it to see fish from a submarine. When we were in Australia, we were in a glass bottom boat and got to see amazing fish as we traveled along.

Out With the New and in With the Old #13

I am back again with another card using my very old wooden stamps. This time I used a circle background stamp and a shark stamp to make a shaker card.
