So, a couple of months ago, I was asked to be a guest designer for the Catherine Pooler Designs Fly Daddy release. I said yes and they mailed me some goodies to play with. And then Covid struck and my package took a 6 week (yes. 6 weeks) layover in Miami. I guess the fishing is good there! lol!
Anyway, I missed the hop, and the package finally arrived this week and this is my first card with this fish-themed set.
My background was inspired by Captain America himself (or maybe his Missoni shirt).
I started by blending a white panel with Shea Butter, Sauna, Polished, Stone Blue and Juniper Mist inks. Then I overstamped with the Painted Stripes background stamp. I used my MISTI and stamped the same colour over the same coloured area by inking up only a few stripes at a time.
I stamped the fishing rod and sentiment with Midnight ink and then added some fish in the 'water' by stamping them tone-on-tone.
I didn't want to give up any of the background, so I used a stitched rectangle die from Postage Stamps dies and popped it up in the centre. I added some of the BlackFoot River sequins around the sentiment - such a fun mix with some really neat sequins!
Love the inspo for this one, Ardyth! What a great looking place to get a crafty idea going! haha!
ReplyDeleteGreat card Ardyth - loving your background, and how you have stamped the fish!
ReplyDeleteI am waiting for a package that has been in Chicago since may 2nd, so still two weeks to catch up on your parcel's layover :)
Stay safe
