At CHA I did some coloring of a watery background for this little shark….so guess what? I had to explore a little more and see if I could make that water look transparent! Thanks to Jamie from Avery Elle for providing me with this stamp set when I fell in love with it! 🙂 🙂 🙂
It’s one thing to make water look like water. But step that up just a little notch more – and see if you can try this one. Make the water look like it’s actually in front of the shark! It could look a bit distracting if he was fully submerged, so I left his head peeping out over the top of the water. But you can try this with any number of fish or shark stamps too!

I just love cards that work for guys – not too many stamps have such a snarky attitude to them like this set does!

I love your technique of coloring transparent water. I recently got the stamp set and cased your card but added the fishing pole.
What the heck happened?! I got 16 messages from you overnight! I don’t mind, it just that that is really a lot, and unusual for you.
lovely to see the details of this technique -again! I think your blog has gone a little cra-cra because I’ve woken up to 16 emails (this is the last one sent) and if this is typical then I think it must be already viewed stuff. Not complaining though – this transparent water tutorial is brilliant 🙂
Thanks for this. Such a sweet card and the Copic technique on this one (I hope, LOL) will be a good one for us beginners to try. TFS!
wow! I LIKE this card! great job/art!

OMYGOSH – I have been waiting for months for this stamp set to be released! My daughter’s birthday is coming up and her favorite “animal” is – you guessed – the shark! This is gonna be great – especially now that I can do that big guy half in and half out of the water – what a great tutorial! Thank you so much for helping me to make a really special birthday card for my grown up little girl!!!
Thanks for bringing us another Copic technique. This is great and I can hardly wait to try this out.
