Card for a couple of challenges

This card works for both challenges, a card challenge at Sisterhood of Scrap

How many fish

For a couple challenges, one at Sisterhood of Scrap to use a circle on a layout and the other one was for Flying Unicorn to use paint on the background. I painted the circle, which is vellum, painted over the bottom sheet of paper and used paint on the stamps to stamp the fish on shrinky dink paper and then added the fish to the circle. TFL

This layout is for a challenge on Frosted Designs. The challenge was to use a punch and the flowers at the top are made from the MS fence punch. This challenge was also for a challenge at Flying Unicorns and the challenge was to use 10 different techniques.
