Seize the Birthday Challenge #315 Splish Splash

Shirley is our host for the challenge and she has picked a great subject. Put your thinking caps on. 

This is a fun challenge but if you are not interested in the topping, just make a birthday card.

Here is my card!

I had an inspiration for this card. I set out to make is and I am very happy with the end results, but it was not easy. I envisioned two fish bowls and one fish jumping to the other. Thereby making a Splish Splash. Lol

With the help of my circle dies, I created two fish bowls, one smaller than the other. 

The stamp for the fish is a favorite and an oldy from Stamp in Up called Fishy Friends. 

Colored and fussy cut after stamping greens from GKD Fill it with Flowers. The puddle under the bowl is also GKD Sophie Pig ( do you remember that one?) Never used before!

Clearly Besotted Whale Done, and GKD birthday greetings for the sentiment. 

Our Surprise Party Guest is Johanna
