Something fishy...

Jennifer is hosting this week's One Layer Wednesday challenge and she's asked us to use two image stamps and nothing else - no sentiment, no embellishments. Full details here if you'd like to play along!

I struggled a bit to decide on what images to use and eventually settled on this beautifully detailed fish and the bubbles stamp from the same set.

I swooshed ink onto the card base directly from the pads and then added just a few tiny streaks with a watercolour crayon. Rather than colouring the fish with a marker (allowed under the challenge rules) I removed colour with bleach - I'm sure that's in the same spirit! Versafine ink is unaffected by bleach once it's been left to dry fully (maybe because it's an oil-based ink?) so the detail of the fish remains clear. I used an opaque white pen on the eye, just to make it stand out a bit more.
