Congrats to Janeen, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a lovely gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the birthday/fishing theme but used different images, different dies & different colors.
For my card, I was trying out this new Camo Bg stamp. I will not lieâ¦I had a bit of trouble at first. First couple of times, I used it too much & just made a messy looking bg. The next 5 times, I couldnât find a color combo I liked. It was going to be like the little fishermanâs vest..but again it looked too messy so I just used a small part of it for the vest. I finally went with sort of a watery color combo then stamped the little fish on top. A little more subtle, but I like it.
The fisherman was colored w/ Copics (except for the paper pieced vest) & I split the greeting above & below him before adding a dark charcoal layer. The camo bg was actually done on printer paper..it was one of my practice sheets but I liked it so I just glued it to the same charcoal c/s & went w/ it.
thanks so much for looking. Closeups & Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Julie, I am glad you found the right colours. It looks beautiful in the blues. I love the fish staamped on it. You coloured that fun fisherman so beautifully, and I love the split sentiment.

my brother would agree with the sentiment, although sometimes it can take a while to come true. he is patient, so that is good. can't imagine you having any trouble with any stamp alive, it gives me hope. Hah. it's a very fun look.
