Paperdoll in Portland, Oregon hosted an Amuseapalooza event this last week. This was one of my entries to win a gift bag from the shop. The owner was really tickled with this card and said it was a frontrunner for a gift. I sure hope so!
ETA: I was a co-winner! I won an awesome gift bag full of A Muse goodies and stamps. Yahoo!
I punched out the scalloped oval with my Giga punch from a piece of Bazzill Beetle Black paper, pierced the holes, highlighted the holes with a white gel pen and set it aside.
I then stamped the fishing pole with black StazOn on an oval that I cut out with my Coluzzle. I colored the handle of the pole with my Creamy Caramel SU marker, the reel with my More Mustard SU marker and set it aside.
I stamped the fish from the Angler SU set on Poly Shrink with black StazOn, colored the fish with my Cameo Coral and Garden Green SU markers, cut it out, punched a hole, slipped in the jump ring and then shrunk him with my heat gun. I snipped a piece of silver wire and "hooked" my fish on the line. To attach the wire to the rod, I punched a 1/16" hole at the top, threaded it through and taped it down on the back.
I then layered the oval on top of the scalloped oval and used dimensionals to attach it to the A Muse notecard. I used my trusty Stamp-A-Ma-Jig for the Gone Fishing! sentiment and called it good.
I really liked the way this card turned out and hope you do, too. Thanks for looking!
(By the way, this is my first post to SCS. My tummy is in knots!)
