Taking another crack at a masculine card. I must admit, I kind of love this one!
This will be entered into the Challenge at Simon Says Wednesday, Father's Day / For A Guy.
Swiping Distress Inks in; Broken China, Peeled Paint and Spiced Marmalade, I laid down my colorful background. Then using a water color brush I dropped water all over the inks. LOVE the way it looks after doing this! A perfect below sea look, I think! The stamp set is By The Tide by Stampin' Up!. Using White Glitter Embossing Powder and Versa Mark ink I stamped my 'coral', which was then heated.
My fish were stamped and fussy cut out, colored with Copic Markers and then I added some Yellow Stickles on their scales. The lower one is popped up for dimension. The sentiment is from Gina K Designs, Lots Of Lines. White Enamel Dots for accents, which also mimic the bubbles.
Who knew masculine cards could be FUN to make?!?!
Thanks for swimming by!
Enjoy~~
This card is fabulous! Thanks for sharing how you did it, and the ink colors you used for that perfect, under the sea, look.

ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful. My husband loved fishing. In fact, he wants his cremains sprinkled on the ocean.
