Hello Mr Fishy!!!

Hi

For my card today I chose to use one of the first stamps I ever bought.

This stamp is called Fish Bowl by Sugar Nellie.  It's a long time since I used this stamp and I really enjoyed colouring it again with my Copic Markers.  

These are the markers I used:

Jeans - B91, B93, B95

Belt - B44 and Gold Spica Glitter Pen

Bowl - C00

Water - B00 and Blue Spica Glitter Pen 

All the papers and card are from my stash along with the button and green ribbon.  

I loved colouring this image and it has encouraged me to look through my stamp collection and dig out some of my old stamps. 

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

I'm going to enter this card into the following challenge:
