Happy Saturday, everyone! This week's Inspiration Challenge is to find inspiration from the Caron's Beach House site. I needed to make a birthday card for one of my nephews and this 'Gone Fishin' wall art was just the help I needed. For my card, I started the 'Great Catch' Stamp/Die Duos set, stamped and cut out the bass and lures with the custom dies, colored the lures with markers, but water-colored the bass. I cut out a circle with the ODBD Custom Pierced Circles Dies, then sponged the scene with sponges using reverse masking and the sponged sky technique. The 'Fishing Net Background' was stamped in Versamark onto the card base and the kraft panel which was cut out with the ODBD Custom Large Banners Dies set. For the sentiment banner, I used the die-resizing technique to make the die-cut a bit larger so that the 'Gone Fishing' stamp would fit. A paper piercer was used to poke a hole in the lure so that the linen thread could be threaded through it.. The last finishing touch was to add a bit of clear glaze pen to the fish's eye. Thanks so much for looking! Have a very blessed day!

Wonderful job creating a masculine card. Your sky and water circle highlights the fish perfectly.

This is great. You've got a lot of good details in the background and layers. The coloring of the fish and the lures is fantastic! - or should I say FIntastic!
