I loved Angela's third card from this post where she used rows of the eyelet lace border die and thought it would be fun to pair up the fish from Tiny Treats: Valentine with that border die. This was the first time using this die and it cut so nicely! My sewing machine was happy to get some love, too. ;) I framed the little fishes and sentiment with Fillable Frames #2. Since there was a lot of blue in the 'water', I used red accents in the sentiment, fish and embroidery floss to balance the card. Obviously my card is yellow-based just like the cover of the book!

Oh this is so adorable, Emily! I love the three fishes and I think you may have completely sold me on fillable frames #2 (I think I'm going to send my next PTI bill to you, Angela, and Karen). And that eyelet die is so fabulous!
Perfect colors for the inspiration book, too! You know how scared I am of yellow and/or orange, but I really like it here!
Better get set for the CAS challenge on Monday! :)
Really like this card Emily it's totally CAS, Brilliant:)xx
Things I love about this card: the colors, the use of the frame/floss combo, the stitching on the die-cuts, the little fishies, using a Valentine's set in July, the shout-out!
It rocks.
And Meg, keep your bill! Too bad you live so stinkin' far away -- we could all share!!
Love this card! Love the blue "water", the touches of red, and how very cute the whole card turned out!
Emily, this is super adorable. love the fish stamp and how you fit it inside the frame. I also like how you added the eyelet borders. SO COOL!! :-)
