Gone Fishin'

Yup, I'm still in Christmas mode - I hope you're not bored yet!  I've started a tally of how many cards I still need to make and it is nice to see the remainder reducing each time I add another. Mind you, it's not a hardship making Christmas cards as they're my favourite theme. 

Today's card has been made with postage in mind, so it's (almost) a single layer card which should easily fit into a flat envelope.  I had to stop myself adding some die cuts to the top right, but really need to make at least some mail-friendly cards!

Water-coloured on Langton Watercolour paper with Ranger Distress Ink Reinkers:

• Fur: Antique Linen, Brushed Corduroy, Vintage Photo, Gathered Twigs, Tattered Rose
• Fish: Twisted Citron, Crushed Olive, Cracked Pistachio
• Stick: Frayed Burlap, Walnut Stain
• Blues: Prize Ribbon, Blueprint Sketch
• Reds: Abandoned Coral, Fired Brick, Aged Mahogany
• Snow: Speckled Egg, Hickory Smoke

Card Recipe:

• Arthur Ice Fishing Polar Bear from Purple Onion Designs (I had a little splurge at SSS who now stock these adorable Stacey Yacula images!)
• MFT Stitched Basic Edges 2
• Crealies Crea-Nest-Lies XXL34 Double Stitched Squares

Happy crafting
