Our Colour Dare Challenge for #388 is using these Easter photo as an inspiration colour wise. Black, White and Greys are free to use. You are invited to participate in this challenge too. Go to the link for Colour Dare #388 and add your entry. 

While everyone is in isolation or lock-down or whatever insanity seems to be striking the entire world at the moment, I choose to send cards to friends (while our postal system is still working). One of the cards I made for this purpose is to tell people that they are totally awesome. This month's stamp of the month is PERFECT for isolation. There is lots you can do with stamping, colouring and masking. 
I challenge you to make a card and post it to a friend who is in isolation... if you can't get out at the moment. Make and write cards ready for when you can get out to post them. Hey you can even start your Christmas cards early!

the Stamp set is called O-fish-ally Awesome—April Stamp of the MonthO-fish-ally Awesome (S2004) is only available during April, 2020.  Full Australian retail price is $34 but you can have this gorgeous set for just $9 when accompanied by an $80 order.

at 3.45 x 5 inches. Then I used Black ink to ink the edges of the striped paper. I stamped the fish and the title on a circle with black ink and sponged with a sponge dauber with Canary yellow ink around the edge and along the middle to get some texture. I added the shell and the two heart stickers from the Seas the Day Paper Packet + Sticker Sheet. (I did ink the edge of the bottom heart to see if it could stand out better) with the blue on grey.
