This coming Sunday we celebrate everything about our Fathers for Father's Day. This card is for my Father-in-law who loves his fishing! I reckon if he could go fishing every day he would he loves it that much. Lucky he doesn't read my blog so I can post this card on here before the big day!
This is another one of those stamp sets that I've had for a long time and rarely use. It is one of about 5 sets that are still in the older style clam shell cases. I really should use it more often because it really is an awesome set.
The striped DSP panel is from one of the new Christmas DSP from the Holiday Catty, , but I thought it was perfect for my water themed card.
I stamped the fish in Island Indigo and then using a blender pen pulled the colour from the edges to give the fish a light bit of colour. On the shell I picked up a little bit of Blushing Bride with the Blender Pen to give it a bit colour
I stamped the coral image on vellum with Versamark and heat set some gold embossing powder on it. It really is an easy technique that gives a really great effect. The card is then finished off with some gold cording, linen thread, burlap ribbon and gold metallic tread. Now to make a card for my dad and help my kids make one for their dad.
Below is a list of all the items that I used in this project. If you

I think this underwater scene is brilliantly designed and definitely feels very masculine. Great combo of textures and colors and dimension. Love it!!
