By the Sea

I have a passion for puffins so this evening my OH and I set off to visit  Fowlsheugh RSBP reserve, which is about 20 miles from us, in the hope of seeing some of these beautiful birds. The sun was shining but it was very windy. Being so close to the cliff edge, I was more than a little nervous. Unfortunately, although we witnessed thousands of birds returning to the cliff  face for the night, we thought that we had not seen any puffins.  It wasn't until we got home and looked at the photos that we discovered that we had indeed captured a couple.  (top left!!)

I don't have any puffin stamps but , staying with the watery theme, I rediscovered a fish that, until now, was unused. This has become the focal point for my entry to this week's Less is More sketch challenge.

The diagonal element was achieved by hand embossing bubbles from an embossing folder. A bit tricky but it achieved the desired effect. I coloured the fish with Crafters Companion watercolour pens and finished with CC clear sparkle pen.  This was then cut out and using 3D foam pads, attached it to the card.
