I'm excited to be participating in our West Coast Creators team blog hop! This month's theme is masculine cards and I have a special one to share with you!
My husband, Mike, works as a Fish Biologist for the BC provincial government and his favourite pastime is, of course, fishing! His favourite place to go fishing is Hope, BC. I created this card with him and the beautiful trees of Hope in mind!
This card uses the Hats Off bundle from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue (pg 47) and the Evergreen Elegance Stamp Set (pg 91). I used two of the new In-Colors, Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent, as well as Smoky Slate for the hat and fish.
Using Soft Succulent ink, I stamped the tall thin tree from Evergreen Elegance all over the Soft Succulent background, sometimes full strength and sometimes stamped off once or twice, giving the illusion of trees in the mist. I then stamped the same tree in Evening Evergreen ink towards the bottom, making them look closer. I adhered that layer to an Evening Evergreen layer and wrapped it in Linen Thread.
The sentiment, from Hats Off was stamped in Versamark ink on Evening Evergreen and heat embossed with White Stampin' Emboss Powder and a Heat Tool. I bannered the right side with our Tailored Tag Punch and glued it to the left side. All was mounted on an Evening Evergreen card base with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Enjoy visiting the blogs of some very talented West Coast Creators!
