For this challenge, I was inspired by my step sons who love fishing. The best part is that we get to be blessed with fresh fish after their catch of the day. Here is my finished card.
I made this card by die cutting a 4" x 5 1/4" water colour card using SSS Bundle of Stitched shapes. Then, stamp embossed in white fish images from Studio Light Ocean View stamp set. I coloured my water colour panel using the smooshing technique from Ali Farmer's Youtube video (thanks for your helpful tip). Colours are shown below.
I spritzed water on the stamp block and got an acetate and smooshed this on the colours which I had transferred onto my panel repeatedly to get good colour coverage.
I just added one colour at a time depending on how dark or light I wanted my finish panel to look like. In between layering colours, I used my heat gun to dry the paper quickly.
This is the finished panel once dried.
I got a striped paper which I adhered onto my kraft card base.
Then decorated my card by colouring this Gone Fishing Digistamp by Nana Vic with my copic markers.
Fishing rod: C9, C5, C3 Handle: E37, E35, E33
Basket G99, G94, G43 Cane: E15, E33, E31, E00
Sentiment is a freebie
To finish off, I added a fishing hook for added effect.
