Impression Obsession DT Challenge - Out of the Box

The rest of the Impression Obsession team has been dreading this challenge, but this is one of my favorites - it's the "Out of the Box" challenge, where we're supposed to use a stamp image for something other than its intended use.

So......these are the stamps I used - this is Goldfish, 2 birds from the Believe Birds clear set, and a coffee cup from the Coffee with a Friend clear set.

And....... those things somehow in my mind turned into this!I had so much fun making this card! All the elements are watercolored with reinkers. Another day that fish tail will have to be a campfire - can you see it? It's perfect for that too. The background (Cover-a-Card Tapestry 2), stamped in Adirondack Stream ink on sponged glossy cardstock, then sanded a bit to remove the gloss.

Here's a close-up on the butterfly:

Ha! I love it.
