Welcome
I must apologise for not being a frequent visitor to your blogs - I have my date with the surgeon again in this coming Monday - as I am top of the list, I hope he won't stand me up this time 😇
Because of this I have been busy getting the gardens etc all ready to be left until I am recovered enough to pull weeds again!!
This card was made for a keen fisherman's birthday.
I started with brushos on water colour paper, and spritzed them with with water, using a lighter spray than I have done in the past - I was pleased with the outcome.

This card was made for a keen fisherman's birthday.

I then randomly stamped and embossed some seaweed - as I was stamping in Versamark ink, it was very hit and miss, as I could not see where I had been!!
After heat embossing with rich green ep, the results were most pleasing!!
I cut the top of the paper with wavy edges scissors, to 'match' the torn bottom edge. and embossed the sentiment on the base card in Silver
The fish were stamped and black embossed on a snippet of white card, and then painted in yellow Twinkling H2O's before fussy cutting them and attaching them to the card.
I loved how this card turned out, especially the brusho background .

A brilñliant card Maxine. I too love the brusho background. I rarely use mine as I found the colours were too intense. Obviously I need to take more water with them!!
ReplyDeleteI love the fish. All the tropical fish remind me of my wonderful opportunity to swim among them on one of the islands in Southern Thailand. The H2O paints give just the right amount of shine.
I hope all goes well with the surgeon for you tomorrow.
Prayers and Blessings Kate x

Oh, I love the sparkle and shine on this!!! Your background is amazing! Simply stunning! I will get to catch up on your posts while are you healing! I was not a frequent visitor since my auto accident. It hurt my head to spend much time online. I will stop by a little bit at a time over the next few weeks and see what I missed! Happy healing!

I would have been perfectly pleased with my results had I produced this card too. Lovely effect for the underwater scene with those Brushos. Good stamping with the fronds etc and the fish are delightful.
