I think I'm in a tiny minority of one who doesn't get the cheater email for Teapot Tuesday. But as I'm in a time crunch these days I took a wild gamble when Cindy said she was going back to fishing when she passed on the card drive request from Charlene, and pulled out my MFT Fred Bear goes Fishing when I did have a little spare time.
I especially got this set because I knew I'd need it some Tuesday!! I also used the current MFT sketch.
Mind you, I think a true-blue fisherman would probably prefer NOT to have sunshine, but hey, Fred caught the fish!
7x5" base to fit Fred and work the sketch.
Orange paper is Basic Grey (Sugar Rush, I think) and blue pattern is Sizzix Little Sizzles. This layer is stitched with blue thread.
Fred was stamped on watercolour paper and coloured with distress inks (vintage photo, walnut stain, tea dye, stormy sky, tumbled glass, peeled paint, forest moss) and layered on blue. I used H2Os for the fish so he has a little sparkle IRL. I added some Making Memories snaps and and MFT sun, along with a Hero Arts sentiment.

Ha ha! No matter how hard I try, I just can't keep a cheater secret from you! I am such a blabber mouth! Giggle! Okay, now this makes perfect sense! Chapter 12, Page, 352.......when all else fails, call out the sun, dry up the lake, expose the fish and insert hook in mouth! Even a baby bear sitting on a fancy chocolate and ice cream cookie log can handle that! Snort!
This card is precious...precious image! See...even precious works in the Great Outdoors! You rocked this challenge Sabrina, and I did my darndest to make you cheat!

Nice of this cute cub to take over while Tig is out of commission. I see he has found a place to make an easy catch. Your bkgrd. shapes and pattern highlight the main image so well.
