This is my entry for the HMF Challenge #98 - Here Comes Summer. And what better way to bring the summer on than by spending a relaxing day fishing. I have a million HM stamps, but, borrowed this one from my daughter. I remembered that she had ordered it a long long time ago and I really wanted to use it for this challenge. So into the storage room to dig it out and I'm so glad I did.
The main image (Fish Tales) was stamped with black memento ink on manga art paper & then colored with copic markers. I cut the image out with a square nestability die and then added a square cut piece of SU more mustart cs behind it. I used another die to cut the green square with the circles. Glued all this onto a square of brown cordinations textured cs. The corner pieces are gold foil that I ran through the cb with a nestabilites die. I added sm blue brads to the centres and small gold brads on all 4 sides. This piece was then glued down onto a piece of su more mustard cs to form my card.
I took the day off work today and what a beautiful day it has been. Finally some summer sunshine in Alberta. A nice day to make a summer card! Hope you are all enjoying your day as well and TFL.
