What the Fish!

Hi  friends,
Don't get surprised by the title. No, I'm not swearing at anyone, but I'm referring to this card I made inspired by CASology week 77- Bubbly :) Here's my take on the cue word:

Closer view




The word 'Bubbly' can have so many interpretations. I went along with the literal meaning of it. I hand drew and cut out the fish-pot after folding my required card paper into half. Then I inked the edges using tumbled glass and faded jeans distress inks. The bubbles are made by masking and inking using these same two inks. The fish is hand drawn directly on the card base(inspired by the pic of a goldfish on the internet) and coloured using distress and memento inks. Finally, the sentiment is hand written inside the bubble.
 This is my first attempt at One-layered Shaped CAS card. Would love to know your views on it.
