Fishing

My brother and eldest sister in 1962

For this layout I used two pieces of a Blue Fern Studios paper for the background and doily die-cut.

Blue Fern Studios
Timeless - Keepsakes
(I used the back side)

I inked around the edges of the paper with Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink using a Clarity stencil brush.



These are the dies I used:

Cheery Lynn Designs Large Sunflower Doily

Cheery Lynn Designs Carnivale Border

I die-cut the Carnivale border out of Coredinations cardstock, tore the ends and sanded them to reveal some of the darker core that blended somewhat into the background paper.

These are the chipboard pieces I used:

Dusty Attic Gum Trees

Blue Fern Studios Calligraphic Border

I primed the gum trees and applied white Viva Decor crackle paint.  When that was dry I brushed them with Prima Parthenay Artisan Powder, wiped off the excess and painted them with Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays Buccaneer Bronze and Greased Lightnin' Green.

I painted the Calligraphic Border brown and then glued a I'm A Maized Prills on top using Artquest Perfect Paper Adhesive.

The fish was made with a mold and Sculpey Ultra Light, painted grey and then misted with the Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays Buccaneer Bronze and Greased Lightnin' Green.

The leaves and most of the flowers are by 49 and Market.

The small canvas flowers were a gift from a friend. Thanks Lisa!




Thank you so much for taking a look!
