CC423 Quite a Baja River Angler

Photo Details

Poster: octoberbabe

I have to admit, I have never used any of these three colors very much, but I'm sure at some point I will miss them when I need just the right color. I decided to make a masculine card for this challenge using an old SU set called Angler. We were also to use plaids or stripes for dessert and I used another old SU bg stamp called Stipple Plaid. At one time, this was my all time fav bg stamp and haven't used it in ages. I stamped Baja Breeze Stipple Plaid onto Baja Breeze cs. Stamped my image in Not Quite Navy and sponged on River Rock & Baja Breeze and then matted on River Rock. I embossed my diagonal strip using the Square Lattice Embossing folder. I added a clip from HodgePodge Hardware that I thought resembled a fish shape and added a brad as well. Popped up my image and stamped my sentiment and done. TFL!!

That stippled plaid background was before my time in SU but I really love it!! Great masculine card with the diagonal panel. Very nice.

Your sponging looks wonderful, Mary, almost like an underwater scene, which is perfect for the fishing gear! Perfect masculine card with these colors~
