I started tonight's card by embossing three different wood grain embossing folders using the three colors from The Paper Players.
Next I cut down the pieces using the current Mojo Monday Sketch.
Next I had to find an image with a person, so I could join the Let's Squash It! Challenge.
I used the vintage fisherman from Artistic Outpost Keeper as my person.
This image actually reminds me of younger pictures of my Dad and my little brother, which makes me smile. I added a fish sticker on top of the fish stamp in the image and another sticker for the sentiment. The finishing touches were a Love from Lizi Peel Off Sticker Strip & gold gems.
The inspiration for using the Wood Grain came from the theme of The Male Room challenge.
Fabulous. Love the boy with the fish and the fish sticker is very realistic. Great combo with the different wood embossing folders. Thanks for joining the fun at Let's Squash It! Hugz
