Gelli Fish LTC

This is my card for aMAZEing adventure frog's Spring Craft & Swap LTC tracker.  My card is called "Gelli Fish".

I have been thinking about using my Gelli Plate more and thought this tracker would be a good opportunity.  I carved my stamp got started on the card right away making the blue gelli background.

Then I made the paper for the fish, stamped the fish, and started cutting them out.  When I had a few cut out, my daughter dumped a big glass of tea over on my craft desk.  I had to throw away all the fish.

I was so frustrated that I put the cards away for a while.  But I got over it and finished the cards.

The sequins were a pain.  I had some mixed sequins and went thru them looking for clear ones.  I couldn't find very many so I went to the craft store to buy some.  They didn't have the color I wanted.  I bought some on Etsy and they ended up being the wrong color.  I bought another package online and they were perfect.

I glued them on with craft glue and I hope they survive the trip.  A few of them fell off while I was getting the cards ready to go.  I am very happy with how the cards turned out :)
