Dream Big
This stamp was in a bag of stamps at the yard sale at my stamp store, I thought it would be perfect for my nephew who loves to fish. I colored it by watering down Distress inks and markers. At the very end I decided to add a bit of sparkle with my wink of stella and it wasn't coming out very well so I shook the pen real hard and then tried again and oh my did it come flowing out, you can see it real well in the last photo, it doesn't look to bad until it is right in direct light. This embossing folder always reminds me of the grasses around the lakes and ponds in our area, thought it would go great with the fish, I have sanded it while it was still in the embossing folder so it would keep it's shape.

I love that embossed background with your fun fish image! They go together perfectly!! Great card!
It looks wonderful with that cat tail embossed background, Connie, and that DREAM BIG sentiment in the "clouds". Great find for your nephew. I know he will appreciate how his card is customized! hugs, de
Stella has done that to me many times! Nevertheless, it looks beautiful and the embossing folder surely does suggest the reeds you'd see along a river bank or lake shore. You did a stellar job on this, Connie. I'm intimidated by coloring realistic fish.
I love this card! That ia a great fish image. I also have that embossing folder and have not used it yet. Thanks for the inspiration.
This is a fun fishing image! I saw a group of guys fishing today, in the cold, at the river park. They must really like it! Thanks for the tip on using the sand block with embossing folders!
