It's the first time I've gotten "messy" in a looooong time and it was absolutely wonderful!! I used Grungepaper and my Slice to cut out the words and then embossed, Distress Inked and finished with either Distress EP, Distress Stickles or transparent Viva Croco paint. Paper is Imaginisce and the little embellies were either cut with the Slice or made.
I am so pleased I finally got to use this great MSI fishy sentiment stamp and "Conrad" by Personal Impressions goes with it perfectly!! I love them and they have both lived in the drawer a long time waiting for this moment :-)

The card was totally inspired by this month's Craft Stamper - I had a "Ooooh I have that stamp" moment!! Not seen ink before of course but it has now!! Hobby Art stamp is coloured with Derwent chalk pencils and I used a Grungeboard frame coloured with Adirondack Dabbers and again the Viva Croco paint then a bit of Distress Ink over the top. Some sand-coloured EP finishes off the shaker card.
Hope he likes them!!

love your fishing book! what an awesome idea! I also love the stamped village scene that you colored...reminds me of Saltcoats or another precious Scottish village! xoxo
Hi Lynn, long time no see :) I spotted the card on CS but yours is so much nicer. I love the frame. The fish log is fab too.
