Congratulations on your retirement - I have laid aside business and gone a fishing. I just did this card for fun. I found these stamps in a box and they had NEVER been inked up so I felt I had to do them some justice. I created this card. Guess what, it SOLD! Yeppers, site unseen.
Deets: I stamped the trout with Stampibilities brown and heat embossed. Then I brayered a piece of whisper white cardstock with only orange, mellow moss, green galore and creamy caramel till I have the color pattern of ornage-y brown on the belly and lighter to darker green on the back and side. I added bugle beads and Signo white gel to the blue cardstock to simulate water glistening. I fashioned a hook for a piece of wire and hung it on a thread of rope adding a red bead for my bobber. For the sentiment on the base of the cardstock I stamped my sentiment in Stamabilities brown and heat embossed. I cut with a die and while the cs was still in the die I sponged coordinating colors. I punched 3 holes and added the black brads. Done, done and done!
Entered in the Crafty Calendar Challenge #8 for the month of May. The theme is "The Great Outdoors".
