Swimming By............

It's summertime!!!....and HOT!  I wish I was swimming with these little fish today - or even just sticking my toe in a puddle of water.  Yes, it's that hot.  I'm ready for winter now..........

I used the stamp set called Gill Friends to create my card today.  Even though you can't see it in the photo, the two white die cut panels have been popped up with dimensional tape to make the "water" appear recessed.

I'd like to enter this in the MFT Sketch Challenge and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.which is Fun in the Sun.  I'll also enter this in The Male Room challenge (fish/fishing)

Thanks for stopping by..........

  12. You are just doing so many unique & unusual layouts, and this is another one I really like! You can see the dimension because it's created a nice little subtle shadow on the panels. This is just adorable...good job! Stay inside, stay cool. It was 99 at 6pm here. Hope it cools off enough for Mr. to mow later. Hoping to get some rain tomorrow afternoon. Hugs & TFS
