DROP ME A LINE....

and let me know how did you like the projects on the hops i was participating in this weekend?
i loved every single project the ladies from both teams made to inspire you: the pumpkin spice blog and the whimsical designs team. Ladies, you are so very super talented, yay!
i had a blast! and i hope you did too.
(next hop i will have some candy for a lucky one)

anyway,

i made this card and i think it is just adorable and it is so easy to make.

Drop me a Line

5in wide x 4in tall

(clicking on the pics will give you a bigger view)

---it took me longer to get the right light to photograph than the making this card. our days have been cloudy and cold and not much nice natural light coming in---.

i embossed the background, made a skinny banner of a strip of patterned paper to stamp my sentiment on, added a piece of jute fuzzing a bit with the ends, punched some clouds and some dots. the round circle was also punched to pop my colored fish. and lastly added some glossy accents to the fish eye and to the dots, some glitter to the fish body and clouds (and i did this using a small coloring brush so i did not get much on my fingers).

and i love the sentiment: drop me a line! super cute along the fish digi image, :D

WILD CARD WITH LISA/FATHER

It has been raining in this part of the world and even 

I tried my best to get good photos they are not the best.

Well, welcome back to another week of Wild Card Cards.

Today we have the Father's Card, 

#35 in our series and you can find this one on page #66 of the cartridge handbook.

I made this one when I first got the cartridge for my husband on father's day but I wasn't too pleased with it but then I was just a beginner-beginner. I am no pro but I have learned a bit here and there and lots more to experiment, lol.

This one is a new card I just made yesterday.

My Father's Card

4.75 inches

The base of the card is made using Kraft cardstock from Hobby Lobby and the patterned paper is another

oldie from DCWV stack. The stamp is from My Pink Stampers Sweet Occasions Set.

 As you can see I used the same patterned paper to cut the cattails and grass from the same Father's car but I also used  a Martha Stewart punch for the green grass.

I also used stickles on the grass and I inked most of the card front.

I popped the fish for more dimension and added the twine glueing it with Scotch's adhesive. It worked well with the twine. I was going to add a real twig to use as a fishing pole but everything was wet and it wasn't gluing down :( ...............I might add it another day tough.

Here is a better close-up. I did not glue the cattails/grass all the way down so I could have the effect of real grass as you can see better on this photo.

 This is the inside and I also added stickles to the fish and just to the Father's word.

This the back of the envelope and I used construction paper again.

I took many photos trying to compensate for the lack of good light.

Lisa's Father' Card

We both used the fish as a mere coincidence.
