This is my version of the card in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog.
Besides the “Best Catch” (#148598) stamp set and “Catch of the Day” Thinlets (dies) (#148815), I used the following products:
- Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430)
- Layering Circles Thinlets (#141705)
- Shimmering White Cardstock (#101910)
- Pigment Sprinkles (#148553)
- Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blends Combo (#144600)
- Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends Combo (#144045)
- Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Combo (#144597)
- Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter (#144608)
- Very Vanilla Cardstock (#101650)
- Grapefruit Grove Cardstock (#146972)
- Versamark Inkpad (102283)
- Stampin’ Embossing Powder – White (#109132)
- Heat Tool (#129053)
- Finally, I used my BigShot to cut the paper with the dies. (Stampin’ Up! is in the process of manufacturing their own die-cutting system, so the BigShot is no longer being sold through the catalog.)
I HAD to use Calypso Coral and Grapefruit Grove – It’s the closest we have to. Pantone’s Color of the Year, Living Coral!
Tomorrow I’ll have a little tutorial on how to use the Pigment Sprinkles (very similar to the “Brusho” pigments). I think it made a great watery background for the fish and hook!
My Dad loved to fish – we would go fishing at least once every year during our vacation to the beach – the ocean was at one side of the town and the bay at the other. Of course my (younger) brother caught the BIGGEST Flounder one year – almost a big as he was! There are lots of stamp sets in the new catalog that you could use for other activities the men in your life like to do – from sailing to cars to horses – even a camera or a cup of coffee!
What would make Your Father’s Day card special?
