Whopper of a day

Happy Friday!!!  It's time for a new challenge from the Cut It Up Challenge Blog.  This week, the challenge is: Add a Sentiment.  How easy is that??

Here is my card for your inspiration:

This is for my brother's birthday.  He just recently became hooked on fishing because his kids took a fishing course and he thought it was pretty fun.  So, I created this fun card to celebrate that new obsession.  I had a lot of fun and used a lot of dies to create this cute scene.  I started with a medium turquoise card stock and used several different distress oxide inks to give it a more watery feel.  Then I die cut it with the waves coverplate die and attached it to a lighter turquoise card base.  I die cut some grass out of green card stock, a sun out of yellow, and some clouds out of white to create the rest of the scene.  I stamped, colored and fussy cut my image, but instead of leaving it with the tiny fish that was originally part of the image, I substituted a much larger fish showing the skill of the fisherman!  I stamped the sentiment and it was good go!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you will hop over to the Cut It Up blog for the full details of the challenge and to see what the rest of the Design Team has created.
