CFC55 BE UNIQUE

I made this fun CAS creation using 

for this week's  CAS-ual Fridays Challenge ...  


My bling is rhinestones and dimensional glaze and diamond stickles on my fish.
I used this brand new stamp from The Alley Way Stamps


My sentiment is from the set

I placed my spellbinders square die (largest in large set not grands) cutting edge up centered under my front panel then placed the sandwich for embossing. That's it. Then I just placed the die on my card front in the grooves and sponged my blue using Tim Holtz Distress Ink Tumbled Glass just around the edges with the Tim Holtz Blending Tool.

For my fish, I stamped 9 fish, colored 8 orange using Copics YR02, YR04, YR07 and 1 black using Copics N4, N7, N10.  Then cut them out, embossed them using CB Tiny Bubbles Embossing Folder.  Then I applied a very thin layer of Diamond Stickles then dimensional glaze and popped them up.
