Gone Fishing For AYSI...
October 06, 2023
It’s a new challenge at As You See It! It’s a color challenge to use misty moonlight, copper clay, white, and a neutral.
I needed a retirement card and just got my gone fishing dies so perfect timing! I started by stamping a background from my SU! gorgeous leaves stamp set. I think it’s supposed to be a woodgrain but it is doubling for my water. I used misty moonlight ink after I stamped it off once.
I die cut the bobber three times in white and then once in copper clay (leftover pieces that had been woodgrain embossed). I layered up the bobber and then added the copper clay on the bottom half and for the hook. I stamped my sentiment and then ran it through my twisted rope embossing folder.
After that I layered the white on some black and then on the misty moonlight base. I am super happy with the results and also hope the recipient recognizes the fishing tackle. LOL!

What a stylish design! While it is a gorgeous CAS card, there's really nothing simple about all the wee details you've packed in. The 3 layered bobber is genius - although, not being a fisherperson I did need the explanation to work out what it was! Then, it was - of course!

So many details on your beautiful CAS card Jane, I don't know which I love most! The embossed background is awesome and the layering of the bobber is so effective - as is the woodgrain water. Fantastic - perfect for a retiree keen on fishing too!
