Ruby-dooby-doo's Stampin Spot: One fish ... two cards!

One fish ... two cards!

I thought I'd use up some of my wee scraps this evening and couldn't be bothered to get up and get a different stamp, so its one image and two cards! I couldn't get a decent pic either, the dark nights are definately upon us ... can't believe the clocks go back next week, where did the summer (and autumn!) go??

Coloured both with my pencils and baby oil, but I don't know if I'm using too much oil or the wrong paper but it's bleeding a bit and I hadn't realised that with the oil that dimensionals wouldn't stick to it!
Ah well, here they are anyway!

Challenges:
Both:

High Hopes #120 - ribbon, twine or lace

1st card:

Sketch from ICS #137 (though my scraps were too wee so I had to add in an additional panel on the bottom)
Wee Memories #73 - free for all

2nd Card:

Sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches #117
Fab'n Funky #95 - torn or distressed (I distressed my white edges with blue ink)

Emma H said...: Cute cards, both of them! I've always used Gamsol (a blending solvent) with my pencil crayons - it evaporates so it doesn't affect the finished product - I didn't know you could use baby oil.
Thanks for joining our distressing challenge at Fab N Funky this week!; 25 October 2011 at 23:51
