Let The Adventure Begin

Hello crafters!  Here's one for the fishermen in our lives.  I started with a piece of white card and I covered it with a sticky adhesive sheet.  Next I selected several shades of brown and white and cut them into one half inch strips.  I laid them down in order working across the card.  Next I cut the Fishing Frame out of white card.    I used markers to colour the items in the frame.  I used a fine tipped marker to add detail to the frame.  Using the Postage Stamp dies, I cut a frame using just the cutting line dies in the set and created a double frame in white.  I added it over the background and Fishing Frame with mounting foam.  I cut the Let the Adventure Begin sentiment in black and glued it to the inside of the frame.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2"  x  8 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Don’t have any fishermen to buy for unfortunately but it is a wonderful card for those who do, the colours are great.

There are several people (both sexes) who fish in our extended family so it's always good to have a variety of such cards. WakeyL
