For this first card I began by cutting the various layers of card stock.

The standard bottom mat (5-1/4" x 4") was cut from Mossy Meadow CS.  

Then I took a piece of Crumb Cake CS and stamped it with Old Olive Ink using the Crackle Paint Stamp and cut 2 strips (2-5/8" x 5-1/4").  I attached them to the bottom mat with Tape Runner, leaving about 1/4" between and to the side of the pieces.

Next I cut a piece of Always Artichoke CS (4" x 3-1/2") and ran it through the Corrugated Embossing Folder.  Then I trimmed it down to 3-1/4" and attached it with Tombow Glue centering it on the mats.

The top mat was cut from Crumb Cake CS with one of the Stitched Rectangle Framelits.

This fish was colored with Old Olive and Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends Sets and popped up as shown with Dimensionals.

The "grass" was cut from Whisper White CS and colored with Old Olive and Soft Suede Stampin' Blend Sets and was attached to the top mat with Tape Runner.

Lastly I added the Gold Sequins and attached the finished piece to a White Card Base with Tape Runner.

A sentiment will be added later.

Same process for this second card.

The bottom mat and corrugated piece both are cut from Soft Suede CS.  

The strips and top mat are Daffodil Delight CS, were stamped with Crumb Cake Ink, and cut into strips.

The fish was colored with Daffodil Delight and Crumb Cake Stampin' Blend Sets.

The "grass" was cut from Crumb Cake CS and colored with Old Olive, Crumb Cake, and Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends Sets.

Again I added Gold Sequins and attached the finished piece to a White Card Base with Tape Runner.
