Pisces - under the sea

Last week I submitted a CAS card for the Less is More Challenge which featured this adorable Pisces image from Queen Kat Designs.  Today's card is a little more ornate than the last one, although I have used similar colours.

For this card I coloured the image with Copics before cutting it out with a Spellbinders die.  Leaving the die in place, I sponged around the edges with Broken China Distress Ink.

Here's a side view to show the step card construction a little clearer.

I added clear gems up the sides to look like bubbles and some turquoise half beads on the front, all from my stash.  The 'seaweed' was created with a Martha Stewart frond punch.

It would be great to hear which of the two cards you prefer, the simple CAS one, or this more detailed one.
