I wanted to participate into today's challenge (WT211 Hot-Metal) but I also absolutely had to make a card for my nephew's birthday. This weekend we are celebrating his birthday and our gift to him is going to be a bunch of fishing accessories since he has joined a fishing camp and will be taking lessons. I thought this stamp was so appropriate to match his gift (Our Daily Bread Designs- Fishers Of Men). As part of the technique, I dry embossed wax paper with the cuttlebug mosaic folder and then ironed it onto the glossy paper. The glossy paper was brayered with handsome hunter. The image was watercolored and dimensionalized. The backgound panel behind the image is gold prism metallic paper (from ODBD). I macramed hemp to embellish the bottom and add more texture.

Perfect folder to get the technique to fit with the card - looks like mosaic tiles in a pool or netting! Love the knotted hemp for the finishing touch - great card!
