Even Little Fish Make Big Waves

Today I'm sharing this adorable card that features Spellbinders August Betterpress of the Month called Fish Parade.  This month's Betterpress Club Kit also includes three sentiments with dies to use.

This was super easy to make!  You will need Spellbinders Betterpress Letter Press System to create this card.  If you have a hot foil machine, these can usually be foiled (I have not tried this press plate with foiling).  After setting up the cardstock (110# Neenah), the press plate and sentiment in the Betterpress, I inked up the Fish Parade press plate with three colors of ink.

I used these Betterpress inks: Cosmic Sky, Hydrangea, and Coastal.  After I ran it through my die cutting machine to press the ink onto the cardstock, I trimmed the circle of fish into a 3-¾" square.   I added foam tape to the back and adhered it to a layer of Cosmic Sky cardstock.

I used the die included in the Fish Parade set to cut out the sentiment.  Confession:  I messed up on the first pressing of the plate, but I'm glad I saved it!  I used my scissors to cut out a few of the fish to add around the sentiment!  Happy I could use some of it!

I added some clear Dew Drop embellishments above some of the fish for a bit of "extra"!
