 Welcome to the last day of the hop! I hope you have enjoyed all the inspiration this week!  Today's feature is "Wealthy Fish".  

 While I was working on this card, I remembered that a very dear stamping friend gave me quite a bit of treasure and these wide staples were part of the stash.  I thought they added a bit of interest to the card. 


 The inside:


For my second set I found an art piece on google as my inspiration.  I went with steel blue ink and TH Fired Brick.  I misted one of the cards with steel blue mist but left the first card clean.  Which one do you think looks better?





Thanks for looking!
