Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Sardine Card using Hero Arts' Big Mouth Sardine Tin Die Set

"Have a heart" is this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge theme.  What says love better than sardines?  I thought the new Hero Arts sardine-themed die and stamp sets were adorable, so I made a card with them:

I cut out all the parts I wanted to use and painted the fish with watercolors and acrylic paint.  I stamped the other elements and fussy-cut them out.  I didn't realize there were dies for all the stamped elements until I'd already ordered my stamp set!  That wouldn't been a thousand times easier, so the stamp and die set is what I'll list in the supply section if you're interested in this set.  For the tin, I used silver foil cardstock.

For the label on the tin, I made some subtle painty dots in the background.

All that was left was to assemble!
