Gerda Steiner - January Share Your Design Challenge

I've been seeing some really fabulous CAS designs recently out on blogland.  I decided to give a try with Gerda Steiner's adorable Deeply Clear Stamp set.

I started by masking the top section with stick it notes then sponging Tim Holtz distress inks - Salty Ocean, Mermaid Lagoon and Blueprint Sketch.  I spritzed the panel with water and set aside to dry.  

This set also has a coordinating die set which I used to cut the fish images.  They were all colored with Copic Markers.  A coordinating sentiment and a few dew drops finish the card.  

I'm sharing my card with the following:
