Best Fishes
>> Tuesday, May 4, 2021
Hi Everyone,
Boy this looks like a rainy week for me, which isn't bad news, because that just means more stamping time for me!
Masculine cards are always a challenge for me. I usually go for neural colors or a pairing of orange and blue, like I did below. I sponged a sky and also sponged the water, using some sticky notes, a scallop punch to aid me along. The photo makes the water look more splotchy than it does in real life, and I'm not sure if the gel pen waves show up to well either. You'll just have to trust me on that.
I stamped and embossed the Silhouette Fishermen and also stamped the Best Fishes Hook, coloring in the hook with a sliver pen, to give it a look of metal. I then paper pieced the actual phrase on top. The two fish were stamped a colored using Copics and a bit of that white pen again.
The fish came from these 2 stamps:
Here's a card from the previous release that I forgot to share here on the blog. This one is the opposite of masculine, but it's pretty simple in it's design as well.
I stamped the birds multiple times, and wrapped the panel with the ribbon, before attaching the sentiment, which was die cut.
The stamps I used are:
Flowering Bird Branch
His Blessings Faith Greeting
I then added a big gem embellishment to finish it off.
Thanks for visiting today!

Two super cards, Karin! The fishermen card is dramatic, but in a cute way and the bird card is just beautiful! Thanks for sharing them with us :)
Wonderful cards Karin!! Your fisherman card is so cute with the underwater message and cards just don't get any prettier that your bird branch sympathy card!
Karin, these are so cool!
I love the sky and the underwater fish on your first. They totally add a ton of interest to this great scene!
Your bird branch sympathy card is just so lovely and sweet.
GREAT cards! Hugz
Great cards, Karin! I really like the little fish you added to the fishing scene! Your second card is absolutely gorgeous!
Fun fisherman card on top with the little fish under water and your bird card is just beautiful with all the pink blossoms and beautiful bow and sentiment too!
These are terrific, Karin! Your fishermen look like they may be heading for stormy weather, lol. Love those clouds. And your bird branch card is so pretty & the colors are so soft & springy.
Oh my Karin I love the fisherman card and the amazing sky you gave them too. And that background for the branch is beautifully colored. The touch of bow and gem is a beautiful addition.
