8x8 commissioned 50th birthday

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all as well as you can be...hugs

Glad to know the forecast is for dry tomorrow, I am off to Mercia Marina to see my daughter and her partner singing in the last Bandstand Busk of the season!

I was asked by a work friend to make a large card for a fisherman, and it had to have bubbles. I think the bubbles were to represent booze as well as water LOL. Luckily I had some of my old photographs which I had taken some years ago! 

 

Basecard is 8x8 Papermania blank.

Own photograph taken on the Erewash Canal at Long Eaton around 6 years ago.

Framed by my very good friend PatEssex (Docrafts). 

Iprinted it onto my usual linencard from The Range.

"Bubble" words printed onto same card in MS Word, then cut with Die-namics stitched circle dies.

Fish stamped with SeeD's stamp for a very old SeeD's set with Memento London Fog.

Glossy Accents bubbles.

The inside is too personal so I am not showing it :o)

8x8 commissioned card, own photographs

Good morning Bloggers, I hope that all is well in your world...hugs

When I went in to work at teatime yesterday it was positively mild, when I came out about 10pm it was -2C and I had to scrape the car Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

My card for today is a commissioned 8x8 70th birthday card which had to feature fishing and booze! So, out came the photographs and I had a little play in PSP and PSE5 and here is the result, front and inside.

I took the photograph of the anonymous man fishing on the Erewash canal at Long Eaton several years ago and used the cookie cutter tool in PSE5 to give himDie- the swirly frame.

The trout at the top inside was taken at Lathkill dale about 5 years ago and the pike at the bottom was taken at Cromford Wharf even more years ago.

Computer generated sentiments using Dauphin font, cut with Die-namics stitched fishtail die.

Fishy stamps from a very old SeeDs set and beer stamp from Personal Impressions. The customer wont see it before tonight so I hope she likes it!  :o)
