Gone Fishing

Here is a card I made whilst having a lovely quite Sunday afternoon crafting:


I brayered a piece of card and also the card blank using my big and juicy in soothing sunset, I added texture to the water using crumpled paper with my brayer.  I stamped the trees and used the edge of the tree to add some grass on the horizon, the trees were from a set by inkylicious.  I then added the boy fishing and managed to get a very pale reflection of him in the water, he is a stamp from clarity stamps.  I matted and layered the panel onto some black card, used the sprig stamp by clarity around the edge of the card blank, and attached my panel.  At the last minute I decided to add a couple of birds with a black pen.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:

The Craft Room Challenge - this fortnight the challenge has been set by Mervi who has decided on the theme 'sports'.  I think my little fisher boy fits this challenge perfectly even tho I'm not an actual fishing fan myself!! All the details for the challenge can be found here

The Stamp Man Challenge Blog - the theme this time round is 'anything goes/summer colours'.  I think my card is an example of a perfect summer evening!  All the challenge details can be found here

Thanks for visiting, please feel free to leave me a comment so I know you popped by!
