These are two cards I've made recently using my Fish stamp set from Rubbernecker. I just love these comical fish! This first card is for a good friend from our church who recently had to have back surgery. He's a very avid fisherman, and all the fish in Lake Erie have been breathing a little easier this summer because Mark has been in too much pain to do any fishing. So I couldn't resist teasing him a little bit with a fish card! My sentiment is computer-generated.
This second card was made at my husband's request as he needed a fish-themed card to send to someone. So I made this one for one of the Dare to Get Dirty challenges earlier this week to watercolor. This one gave me a great opportunity to us this fun new designer paper I recenly picked up from We R Memory Keepers. Aren't those polka dots so bright and cheery? I love 'em!
I "fish" you a great Monday! I'm having two of my very best stampin' friends over for lunch today, and to celebrate their birthdays that are only a month apart. And yes, after we eat we're gonna' stamp! I can't wait!
Thanks for stopping by!
