Had fun working on this card. It's a sample I've made for the Rubbernecker Booth at the upcoming Akron show.
I stamped the image of the fishing basket first, masked it off, and then stamped the image of the vest. The Gone FishinÂ’ sign and lure were stamped onto a separate piece of paper. All the images were colored with Copic Markers, and the edges were sponged with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. All the edges of the background paper were distressed and then sponged before layering them on the different panels. The sign was trimmed out and then wire was added as the hanger for the sign. The panels for the fishing lure were cut out with circle Nestabilities.
