Fishing Rules

Today I'm sharing a little fishing humor with you. This could be easily turned into a man's Birthday card or Father's Day card for next year if you needed one, simply by changing the sentiment or verse on the inside of the card. All of the stamps I've used here are by DRS Designs.

Making the background was a little tricky, but so worth the effort. I prefer unmounted rubber stamps and I was able cut the word border away from the image on the Fishing Square (1093L) stamp. I then arranged them on my acrylic block, one line above the next, and stamped it repeatedly until it was the size I needed for the background. I distressed the edges to give it a rustic kind of look. The Jumping Fish (325L) was colored with Copic Markers and then fussy cut. I popped it up with foam tape for some dimension as shown on the card front.  Below it, I fussy cut out and adhered the Fishing Rules (315K) in place.  It was colored with Copic Markers as well.  A decorative corner punch, some gold brads and beige raffia made this card complete.

Well, that's it for today. 
I hope you'll be back soon to see more of my work! 
Have a great weekend!
