Happy Saturday! This is a card I made for my brother-in-law's 60th birthday, which was this past week. He is an avid fisherman and I bought this stamp to make his birthday card last year but never got around to it, so I finally pulled it out and stamped it on some of Ranger's Sticky-Back Canvas. I painted it with reinkers and a waterbrush and cut it out with a Nestabilities Labels Three die. I adhered some twine on top of the stamped image for the fishing line and also wrapped it around my patterned paper. I used that paper because it has fish all over it, but you'd never know now that it's all covered up!I cut out the fish using a QuicKutz fish die and tried to color it to look like a rainbow trout! An artist I am not...but I thought it was funny nonetheless. The stamps are from Cornish Heritage Farms and the patterned paper is from Hot off the Press Paper Pizazz.
Thanks for looking! Enjoy your weekend!

What a great masculine card. Love the canvas, thw fishing line... the coloring... TFS!
Really nice man card and coloring! I really like the image and the way that you used the string and attached the fish!!
This is awesome, Robin...love the wonderful fisherman image and how you added the fish and twine!!! My DH is a bass fisherman and this would be perfect for him...I'll have to check out that stamp!!!
I think you got the coloring right for a rainbow trout, but the shape is wrong! Flowers I may not know... but fish...well.... I know fish... raised by a fisherman!
This card is awesome-- love the different approach using the canvas and reinkers to paint -- very NICELY done!!! Love all the string too!!
