Birthday Fishes

The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is: frame it, showcasing Memory Box products.

I think I spent more time looking for the I'm a narwhal stampset. I looked under M for Memory box and then W cos I thought maybe it's Wow, in the end I left it but then found it under P for Poppy Stamps haha...anyway...
I used the Memory box Under the sea collage die and the Simon Says Stamp  Best Fishes set for the sentiment.

I cut out the sea collage from a panel, stamped the sentiment with Versafine Onyx black ink and then did some inklending on the cardbase.
For the inkblending I used : Versamagic inks Turqoise gem and Distress Oxide ink Mermaid lagoon.
Ocean Depth, Sea breeze and
They both react to water, but not so well on this cardstock, but I splattered it anyway with a water and bleach solution. It's faint but you can see it.
I didn't want to use any white splatter or silver or blue even, although I use the distress spray stains for this a lot, i thought the effect  of the frame would be lessened.
I like the contrast of the white with the blue centre, it really pops.

Mounted the panel with foamtape and adhered it to the cardbase.
