One of the cards we sometimes find difficult to make to share today although I don't suppose that fly fishing is exclusively a male pursuit ☺️. Anyway I'd spotted the dies and realised they were just right to make a card for the man I had in mind. I looked through some of my designer papers and came across this piece which I thought would be ideal as a backdrop to show off the wording and the silhouette fisherman.. I also used one of the slatted circular dies for some added interest. There are quite a few other 'fishy' dies in the set for future cards as well. Although the wording came together as one die, each letter cut out individually so I made a template for lining them up by die cutting it with some scrap card and laying the 'waste' over the area where the words were to go and then I could carefully adhere the individual letters into the spaces, finally carefully removing the template once they were in place. Hopefully this card will be well received.

Fab masculine card Val, great fishing dies and what a lovely background! Great work lining up the lettering too xx
ReplyDeleteI too find those masculine cards difficult, but sounds like this might be spot on for the recipient.
