W2CB #31: Just Keep Swimming

Hi, everyone! It's the second Wednesday of the month which means it's time for a new challenge over at Words 2 Craft By. This month's words might sound just a tad familiar.  :)

I was wishing I had something Nemo/Dory items in my stash when I came across an adorable Ranger Dylusions on the clearance rack at Hobby Lobby. Could this fish face be any more perfect?!

Peacock Feathers has to be one of the prettiest inks of all time. I go to it time and time again, and it never fails to bring a huge smile to my face.

This was the first time I had colored with pencils on vellum, and I really liked the way the coral and ocean plant turned out. The softer colors add interest without overshadowing our little fish. The vellum made it easier to fussy cut the images so that the background blue could be seen and the images looked more.... alive.

So, how will you interpret this month's words.... literally, figuratively, or both? Hope you'll swim over to W2CB and play along.

Thanks for stopping and happy scrappin'!
