Leaping Trout

Dear Ones~
It has been some time since I posted a blog to enter a couple of challenges. It felt good to just play and do something for fun.
Here is my card:
when I saw this digi stamp set from Power Poppy I HAD to have it!! My hubby is an avid fly fisherman, and gets so much pleasure from stalking the elusive trout. We have 2 beautiful rivers in our county, and in the summer he spends some part of almost every day in their waters. He has many fishermen friends who would love this card.




I recently purchased a very cool stencil from Designs by Jaime called Mini Cell Theory. I thought it would be a great design to sponge as my background paper. I colored the fish with Prismacolors, and added some Stickles and clear Crystal Drops to the water.






This photo is a little out of focus, but it's a good close up of the design. I think Marcella did a wonderful job drawing that fish!!






Here are the Ingredients:
PTI New Leaf Card Stock
GKD Black Onyx and White Card Stock
Designs by Jaime Mini Cell Theory Stencil

    Great card and I love the way you colored that fish. And I love the stenciled background. We don't do fly fishing here though.

    My Dad would have loved this card. He was a great fisherman. I can't tell you know many Tshirts he had with fish or fish sayings on them.

    THUDworthy!!!! I love how you colored this with PC pencils! Great use of distress inks for the water. I think I might get some of the clear Nuvo drops now - those look like real water drops! Thank you for such inspiration Judy!!! I hope your hubby enjoys his fishing days this summer ♥ <')))))<
