Gone Fishin' - again...

Welcome

Once again I have been much slower than I intended in blogging again

I have been trying to catch up on commenting, but the more I tried, it seemed the behinder I got, so I am trying to make a clean start....again :)

I made this card for one of the fishermen in the extended family - fishing is a major hobby of his, especially in the summer.

I used a set of stamps sent to me by the beautiful Karen Letchworth -  a Whimsy stamp set, Born to Fish

The background was made with a Uniko stencil, Wonky Stripes  and two shades of blue ink, then sprayed some blue Mica spray across the bottom of the card.

Initially I silver embossed the fish images, but they were 'lost' on the background, so I stamped them in Memento Paris Twilight ink on white card, fussy cut them and adhered them over the embossed images.

The sentiment is also from a Uniko stamp set

I repeat stamped the the fish 'off the edge' on the inside panel

As well as on the envelope, as seen in the top photo.
