MY PET FISH..

 Hello everyone,

I'd like you to meet Finn, he is my goldfish that my Grandson bought me when a cat ate my other fish and I got quite upset..the lad was 10 yrs old then [now sixteen] so old Finn is doing very well, evading cats and lately a Heron,who perches up on next doors roof surveying the area..Finn now has his netting over the top of his dirty pond for safety, but the other day before the netting went on he was out laying in the sunshine, he lays there for a few minutes then goes back down to the cool bottom of the pond, then comes back and just floats in the sun, when he is fed he will eat out of my fingers sometimes as long as you approach quietly, and he will swim into my hand when I place it in the water and I can tickle his tummy..

Mmmm, enough of my crazy life with a fish...here's a tag.


An after thought, I could have printed the picture bigger and then cut it into a tag and decorated it, but I didn't, so inked up the top...


Added a frog and water lily pads and flowers inked up inside the dies to get the colour on only on the embossed raised bit...glossy accents bubbles and added a stream  to where the fountain is..


More leaves, flower and frog across the join to make the back of the pond, and a dragon fly,and memory box hanging leaf die...


The sentiment, because Finn is..


And my finished tag, featuring Finn..

Thanks so much for stopping by, see you tomorrow..

Luv CHRISSYxx
