I made this card with a new stamp I got from River City Rubber Works. The image is so large that I really struggled with the layout (can you see the ribbon peeking out in the corners of his fin and tail - you may need your magnifying glass) - but the image is so awesome.
I used dew drops in the corner and added some dazzling diamonds to the fish to make him look pretty. My coloring is off because I didn't look up what bass fish really look like before I started coloring, but my DH says I got pretty close.
If you look closely at the fishing lures in the left corner - they are reportedly antique lures owned by my DH's grandfather and used in South Alabama lakes and rivers in the early to mid 1900's. In person they are so beautiful - they would make a great but costly card! The red and white thing and the weights are also old. I thought they made the picture more interesting.
TFL!

OMGosh! RCRW is going to hire you if they see this sis! What wonderful job! The colors are great, and the dew drops make your scene come to life! Wow- you so rock! And I love your photography! (We have a few old lures too- I use them to decorate the Bucklman's 'powder room'!) Lol- he'd die if he saw this! Lol!
