"YOU'RE QUITE A CATCH!" CARD
I thought I'd try this challenge! Using a fish for a Father's day card was the only requirement. Not bad, right?! So I headed upstairs thinking that I had a fish somewhere (be it cricut shape or stamp). My heart sank when I couldn't find one.... what to do? I did finally find one; a small one. It was in the Wild Card cartridge so at least I had a starting point!
This is what I used to make my "S fold" style card:
Cricut Wild Card (for the fish and the reeds)
scrap cardstock
Teal ink (MS)
Stickles (broken china and a brown cordouroy)
Distressed Ranger ink (vintage photo)
twine
metallic gel pen (stitching and sentiment)
I will be giving this card to my husband for Father's Day. Thanks for looking!

ReplyDeleteHello! This is a super cute card! I just saw your comment on my blog regarding ATC's. They are Artists Trading Cards. Often you can make a bunch of the same card, (maybe showcasing a fun technique), and then trade them with your crafty friends! It is sorta like trading your fave sports cards, but with scrappy goodness instead!
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutly adorable card!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that Wild Card had a fish, either. This is GREAT! Thanks for playing with us at BBTB2.
