Picture Perfect Day

>> Thursday, September 10, 2020

 

Good morning!
It's a picture perfect day and permission to fish!!
Instead of a double Z fold I guess you could call this a triple Z fold! LOL!!
There is a strip on top and 1 on the bottom to form a box in the center.  I did not fill the box with extras but that could be done, maybe some cattails or...
Looking down on this card shows the construction a bit better.

The fish was stamped on the base and on a separate piece of white cardstock as well 
then cut out and popped up on the base image.  I stamped the base image using Broken China on the bottom (water rings) and Fern Green on top (trees and reflection of trees).  When I added the popped
fish I did not pop the tail but glued that part down over the splashes.  The splashes were
done using a Snow Marker sprinkled with glitter then heat puffed to give it a foamy look.
The fish was colored then Stickles was added in Crystal and Diamond.
The lake, ground and sky were all sponged with various inks on hand (Beige Brilliance and Shabby Shutters Oxide on the ground, Broken China for the lake and sky).  I used a torn paper 
towel to make the clouds in the sky (used sort of like a stencil brushing up from the torn side). 
The 2 Z fold strips going in the opposite direction fold wise, were stamped and sponged 
the same as the card base, fence was stamped using Rich Chocolate and tops were roughly 
cut out). The rocks, fish and mountains were stamped with Tuxedo Black then colored
with Copics. Warm and cool grays on the rocks and mountains, grays, greens and pink on the fish.
Thanks for visiting today!

How wonderful, Robin! Such a fab fun fold & I love the fish detail w/ the foamy water. It's like a super panoramic scene unfolding before you.

Fantastic bendy scene Robin. Love the mountains and trees and how the fence came out. Can I go walking in this scene?

This scene is amazing and made more spectacular by the creative fold! Those mountains and stream look so real and I love your choice of sentiment!
