Christi's Creative Crew: Best Catch

As I am writing this blog post (on Saturday morning) I am sitting in the hospital (again - sigh*). This time with my dad. While I was vacationing in AZ my hubby had to bring him into ER with severe pain. He was sent home with antibiotics, but we had to bring him back in on Friday after a check up with his physician and this time they kept him and had to have drain put in to drain his gall bladder. Kind of a rough week for this 92 year old dude.
So in honor of my dad I will show you 2 masculine cards that I made to display at my open house.
I just love the BEST CATCH Stamp Set/Bundle. I know Stampin' Up! had a fisherman stamp set years ago - before I was a stamper, so this one was long overdue for me.
My dad was an avid fisherman and hunter. MANY of our meals were made up of his fresh caught fish and game.

This first card is copied from a card that Shelly demonstrated at OnStage in Orlando last November. Of course mine is not exact, but it's good enough for me. I colored in the fish with my WATERCOLOR PENCILS and a little bit of water with my AQUAPAINTER. The fleck are made using the AQUAPAINTER.
Other product used on this card:
CRACKLE PAINT Stamp Set
BURLAP RIBBON
EVERYDAY LABEL PUNCH (just trim off the outer portion of the long sides - if that makes sense)

This card was made using a sketch challenge and I am pretty happy how it came out
Other product used on this card:
SUBTLE Embossing Folder
BASKETWEAVE Embossing Folder
WATERFRONT Stamp Set
NEUTRALS Designer Paper
FACETED DOTS
