To A "Reel"y Cool Guy
Hello bloggers! It's time for another fishing card. I started this one by inking a piece of white card with some Fossilized Amber and Salty Ocean distress inks. I cut the inked piece using a circle die, then matted it with a slightly larger circle. I glued it to the middle of a piece of white card. Next I cut the Fishing Vest in tan card and added darker pocket and the backing V area of the vest using brown card. I cut the Fishing rod and fish out of white card then coloured them with markers. I added them both to the edge of the circle with mounting foam. I cut a couple of the Cattails and coloured them with markers and added them to the left side of the circle. I cut the To A "Reely" Cool Guy! sentiment from the Fishing Frame die set in black and glued to the upper left corner. The card was completed with white mat and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
