Birthday Fishes!


Since Cath posted the latest Moxie Fab World Challenge: The Cure for the Winter Blues, I've been staring at this paper from My Mind's Eye & wondering what I was going to do with it. Then I read this week's CREATE blog challenge to use confetti, and wah-lah, got it! I'm hoping the confetti trend really is on an upswing, because I've been having a hard time finding it the last couple of years, and people really love the fun of shaker cards. Well, really, what's not to love?


Supplies: papers from MME;
super cute blowfish from Imaginisce (from Allison!);
coloured with Prismacolor pencils;
sentiment from Hero Arts;
Palette Noir ink;
microbeads & confetti from stash

Hard to capture, but a slightly better look at the balloon & heart confetti
For the CREATE challenge to use confetti, you've got until Thursday morning (March 8) to email your card & blog post to Paige (details are at the bottom of the quilt-inspired gallery). For the Moxie Fab Cure for the Winter Blues challenge, you have until Sunday March 11 to link up.

xoxo,
Jessi
