Father's Day

My husband lives-loves also, but this is not a typo- he also lives to fish. If he could fish every single day, he would. And timewise, he can, but there are other factors that prevent him.....too much wind, too much sun, not enough sun, too cloudy, not enough cloud cover, too hot, too cold, too many boats on the water...  you get the idea. Being retired, his time is all his own, so he can pick and choose his days more than ever before. Which makes him happy, Which makes me happy. :) 

I used the new release from Whimsy Stamps for this year's fishing card. I used watercolor paper and Distress Inks with water to paint the background. I really like how it turned out.

For the fish and the water, I used glossy accents to create the 'wet' look. It shows up real well in this shot.

Ink colors and stamp sets used for this one.

Happy Father's Day sentiment on the inside is from the Hooked on You collection by Honey Bee Stamps.
