GIANT Catch

Hello Crafty Friends.

My grandson Lewis (age 5) informed us again he has changed the theme of his birthday party. back to sharks.  He has been waffling between a shark theme, a lego theme, and a superhero theme. We have 2 months to go so who knows which will win. I decided to go ahead and make some shark cards just in case - lol!

This card is full of texture.  I took a piece of an Amazon box (most likely held legos - lol), pealed off the first layer of paper, and cut it into a tag shape.  To get a beach/ocean theme, I painted on some white Gesso, painted the tag with different colors of blue, and added in a little beach with a strip of the paper that I removed from the tag and some more white Gesso.  I splattered on the remaining Gesso because I didn't want to waste it.  A bit of Vintage Photo Distress ink around the edges and I was ready for the images.

I water colored some paper using a quick wash, and then stamped the Happy Shark on a section that had a white strip at the bottom. I also stamped on the Fishing Square, loosley watercolored the basket tan, restamped the image in my MISTI, and fussy cut the boat, rod and basket out.  

To finish off the card, I added in the Killer Birthday Greeting.  The base layer was made using watercolors and doing the Ink/Spray/Smash technique.  

My other grandsons came over and loved it.  One wants me to make him one and one wants to make one himself.  This one got the quality seal from my family.

Hope your week is going well.

Hugz,

Nancy
