Sketch Challenge

 This is the final week of 2020 over at The House that Stamps Built our challenge is a sketch - 

 

I was stumped for a little while until I started looking through some papers that I had forgotten I had.  Saw the fish paper and the idea popped in my head.  


I used 2909-H Rainbow Trout and   6704-F Fishing Fly  for my focal images on this card.  My hubby loves to trout fish and he ties his own flies, and somehow he knows what color they are biting on when he goes.  Black and yellow seem to be the favorite.  4034-F Make A Wish.  I really am still not sure if I am going to use this for a birthday card so I left Happy Birthday open.  I colored and fussy cut 3 of the rainbow trout together then used dimensional glaze to make it a bit more realistic.  Popped it up on dimensional as well as the fishing fly.  I am always needing masculine cards so this went in my man cards slot.  

   Now it is your turn to make a card or project using the challenge of the sketch. So many possibilities on this challenge.  You have a full month to enter our challenge.  You do not have to use Repeat Impressions stamps but if you do  you will have two chances to win a $25 gift certificate towards stamps.

If you look on my right side bar I also have a discounted coupon for you to use when you go shopping at Repeat Impressions.
Now why not take a look at our DT Rock Stars for inspiration

Great idea for a masculine card. I don't know much about fishing, but I have a lot of respect for your DH's ability to create his own flies and then catch trout with them! And your card really captures the spirit of the sport.

This card is perfect for those men who love to go fishing! Isn't it great how a piece of designer paper can spark an idea to create a card? Loving your take on this fun sketch and wishing you a very happy new year too!
