I used the different inks &amp; detail blending brushes to add the colors then pieced the fish together. If you get lost on what piece goes to what fish, just keep the package picture handy. It&#8217;s easy to sort them out by looking at it. The pictures are also true size. For the background, I used a waves stencil &amp; the sky &amp; odyssey inks. To me, it looked like the lines from the stencil were competing with the netting so I added more sky ink all over. Then I rubbed Versamark over the entire background &amp; heat embossed it with a clear, sparkly powder. Worked like a charm! \u00a0The navy blue oval was cut to place over the oval opening with the netting behind it. All the seaweed was tucked inside the lower edge with the bottom 2 fish over &amp; under them. The top 3 fish were popped up as was the top panel. I wanted some depth between the fish &amp; the background.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Tropical-Fish-xcu-IMG7808.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42307\" src=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Tropical-Fish-xcu-IMG7808.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1041\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Tropical-Fish-xcu-IMG7808.jpg 1041w, https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Tropical-Fish-xcu-IMG7808-400x246.jpg 400w, https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Tropical-Fish-xcu-IMG7808-980x602.jpg 980w, https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Tropical-Fish-xcu-IMG7808-175x108.jpg 175w, https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Tropical-Fish-xcu-IMG7808-768x472.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Tropical-Fish-xcu-IMG7808-195x120.jpg 195w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1041px) 100vw, 1041px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThanks <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">so much for stopping by!<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Julie2-sig.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12715\" src=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Julie2-sig.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"134\" height=\"50\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Supplies: \u00a0(click the names below the pictures to take you to the products)<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"height: 177px;\" border=\"0\" width=\"724\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"6\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody id=\"collapseobj_photoinfo\">\n<tr style=\"height: 23px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 100%;
