By The Water - JFF’s July Challenge

Hello!  This month, I am the blog host for JFF’s July Challenge!  The theme I picked is “By the Water.”  July is a big vacation month; and a vacation, for me, is somewhere by the water.  My first choice would be a lake where I could do some boating (skiing, fishing) but your card could be at the beach, by a river, etc.  


My card was started as an alcohol ink background, which I did, this time, on yupo paper. I think I prefer yupo over glossy paper for AI techniques, but they both work wonderfully.   I stamped my fishing father and child stamp over top of the background.  I then stamped, colored and cut out the fish and applied it to the bottom as a title.  The black card scrap was cut to look like a Polaroid frame.  




Supplies: Just for Fun Rubber Stamps Father & Child Fishing stamp, Fishing title stamp, Ranger alcohol inks and Yupo paper, Sizzix swirl embossing folder, MFT DieNamics Pierced Square dies.

Please check out the JFF blog for the link up for this challenge, AND to see the artwork that the rest of the design team made for this challenge!  I really hope you will play along!  There will be a random drawing for a gift card.  

Thanks for your visit and kind comments!  They are such an encouragement to me!

This is so fishtastic! LOL I just love the image of the man and boy fishing and that cool fish with the sentiment is just the right touch for making it even greater. The background is beautiful too. I need to try more alcohol ink things again. Too many techniques to work with I think as it seems I can't keep up.
