Gone fishing

Its week 2 at Sunday Sketch and Stamp (and I won the ribbons last week, how excited am I, I LOVE ribbons!). I have used the sketch and combind it with this week's Colour Create, blue and green, to make a male card.

I watercoloured the image and distressed the background. I used my nesties to cut out the image and matted it onto the dp. I inked all the edges of the dp with green and then blue ink. I added a couple of photo anchors and put on the sentiment placed at a jaunty angle.

Recipe:
Stamp(s): Sugar Nellie To catch a big fish; sentiment Papermania
Colouring Media: Distress inks
Papers: Basic Grey Archaic
Embellishments: Woodware chipboard anchors
