AAA Cards ~ Challenge #306

Welcome to our first challenge of 2026 at AAA Cards. Our challenge is a "follow my lead" challenge. We're to follow Francesca's lead. Here is her card for inspiration.

Here's my take on her sketch.

I was inspired by Francesca's placement of elements. For the horizontal element, I masked off an area and used STAMPlorations' Placid stencil with distress inks - cracked pistachio, peacock feathers, tumbled glass and mermaid lagoon applied with oval ink blending brushes on a white A2 card base. I removed the mask. Then, I stamped the fish using Simon Says STAMP's Best Fishes and Paper Smooches' Surf N Turf stamp sets and Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I added color with Ohuhu markers - B883, BG042, G289, RV687, V284, YR792 and fussy cut the fish. For the sentiment, I used Simon Says STAMP's Best Fishes stamp set and Versafine Onyx Black ink. I glued the fish to the ink blended area to complete my card.

We'd love to see how you're inspired by Francesca's card in our gallery.
