Curt set out on a fishing trip looking for some peace and quiet. Strange things started happening. Let me explain. He blew a whistle, which someone who we wonÂ’t name names, told him would make the fish hungry so he could better catch them. Yeah right! Instead, it made the fish appear to be black and white striped with big red lips!
Then when he opened up his can of worms, which were brown in color but once they crawled out, the brown went away and b/w stripes appeared! Go figure.
So either Curt is light headed and seeing things because of blowing on that whistle or someone has spiked his water! hehe Oh well. Must be Teapot Tuesday cuz strange things are appearing in the gallery!......Okay, not too strange, just lots of black and white stripes!....my card(s)Â….
More strange things happening here just happened to find a card in my stash that fit perfectly with this card. SO it will be going to Karen and the other one to Chip. How cool is that? Â…..Unbelievably cool!....now the detailsÂ….
Things stamped: small trees, large trees, worms, rocks, tent, and campfire. The clouds and sun were sponged after some masking was done. Coloring was done with a combo of thingsÂ…copics, stylus & SoHo colored pencils and sharpie markers. The big lips and eyes and Curt and can of worms and hat and boat Â…..Mutnik sketching.....correction, the big lips are compliments of the computer except for the ones on the big striped fish.
I then layered my image panels with white cs that I ran a red sharpie around on the edges. Just happened to have this blue cs that I think goes perfectly with my scenes. Added the blue ribbon bow to make the second card a tad more girly! heheÂ…guess I really didnÂ’t find this in my stash after all.
Well I am off to the grocery store before DS brings DGS over. I will be in and out viewing all your fab-o cards and commenting as much as I can. Have a great day all!......TFL :0)

Just amazing what happens when the whistle blows...! I love all the fish with big lips, these cards prove that fish do indeed have lips!! And here I thought they were all bottom feeders... I love the part about the opened can of worms, looks like they're gettin' away!! What a nice idyllic scene for fishing and camping!! Thanks for the laughs, Cathy!
Have fun with DGS!

Adorable little scene as always, but....I think Curt might have a can of alcohol (and I am not talking alcohol inks here sister) in that boat of his. tfs

Cathy - you think of everything! Matching cards that complete a scene - that is the first time I have ever heard of that, but you never cease to amaze me! Love your cards and your scene - wonderful job.
