Swimming By To Say Hi





I'm swimming by to say hi, today, because it's time for Marvelous Monday at Shelly's Images!

Since we've just celebrated Father's Day, I've been creating a lot of male inspired cards, lately! I have another fun masculine card for you today, using today's featured image, called bad Day Fishing. You can get this fun image today only, for a special price, in Shelly's Store

This image reminds me of going fishing with my dad when I was younger. I remember one time, I went to cast my line into the water and got it hooked in my hair! Poor dad had to sit and untangle it! The things we put our dads (And moms!) through! LOL


My card layout follows the sketch at Ellephantastic. I'm using the Bad Day Fishing and the Hook Line and Sinker images, from Shelly's Images. The images are colored with Promarkers. I cut out the Hook Line and Sinker three times, to use as an embellishment for the bottom left corner in the matted image. I used foam mounting tape to attach them, so they have the 3D effect of fish jumping out of the water. The cute fish ticket says "Swimming By To Say Hi" and is from When The Scrap Hits The Fun. I added hand dyed dew drops above the fishy ticket, to simulate bubbles. The green patterned paper is a digi paper from Bearly Mine Designs. The other patterned papers are scraps from my stash. I used a Clearstar Gelly Roll pen to add some sparkle to the water in the image.


I am entering this card in the following challenges:
