I wanted to try the "Best Catch" bundle again but this time with my watercolor pencils. Yesterday I wasn't sure what kind of fish it was, but, after living in Alaska for 8 years, I thought maybe it looked like a Salmon. So I Goggled salmon, and tried to make it look like a pink salmon.
I think this one turned out a little better. I had a little more control with the color and the colors are a little more subtle. The previous card I chose Pumpkin Pie for the underbelly of the fish, this time I used, my favorite, Flirty Flamingo. The rest of the fish is colored in Old Olive.
I wanted to try the fishing fly this time too. There are so many cool dies and stamps in this set. I still have to try the fly fisherman in maybe a daytime scene.
You can't really tell but the background layer, in Crumb Cake is actually a piece of DSP from the Tranquil Textures pack and then I ran it through the Big Shot with the Basket Weave embossing folder, to repeat the basket weave in the fish basket. I hope they come out with a Crumb Cake watercolor pencil, this was a little darker than I wanted.
When I die cut the fish on my first card I didn't pay too much attention to the die, then last night I saw a little cut that I didn't see the first time. Low and behold there was a cut for one of the fins! I put two Mini Dimensionals under the fin to make it pop up more, and one layer of Dimensionals on all the die cut pieces.
I also used our new Rectangular Dies from the Occasions catalog, for the backgrounds of the die cut pieces as well as the sentiment. The sentiment is punched out with our Classic Label punch.
The sentiment that I chose, "For You, Dad" would be appropriate for my dad, he loved to fish, but from a boat or an ice house. He passed, 3 years ago next week so this card will be
available on my Etsy website, just look for Cottage Lane Stamper! It will make a great birthday or Father's Day card for the fisherman in your life!
When I made this card last night I did something I've never done before, really dumb. When I stamped the hat on the inside I decided to re-ink my Crumb Cake and Soft Suede pads. When I went to re-ink my Soft Suede I grabbed my Early Espresso re-inker! If you happen to do this, just rinse off your pad under water. Pat it dry and let it dry out. I left it overnight and then re-inked it this morning. Since they are water based inks this is a pretty easy fix.
This set is available, as well as the other items in my online store. Click here to shop.
The Best Catch bundle and Rectangular Dies are in our Occasions catalog , the other items are all in our Annual Catalog.
Purchase the bundle, save 10%, add one other item and you can get a FREE item from our Sale-a-bration catalog!
Great time to order during Sale-a-bration and get one free item for every $50, and also become a demonstrator, if that is something you are interested in, lots of extra perks during Sale-a-bration. I'd love to have you on my team!
Happy Stampin! Have a blessed day!
