Fishing Days

Today I was clearing through some things and getting some of my pictures in order.  I came across a card I had made back in March for my sons birthday.

I wasn't really posting on my blog at the time and I had forgotten about it.  When I was making this card I was really trying to work on background techniques.


This cute guy is a digital stamp from Sassy Cheryl's.  I LOVE her images.  This is a really old image and I don't believe it's even available any more however if you are looking for a "fishing style" image she has many new one's to choose from.  
Because I found this card in the archives I don't have the Copic colors used to create it.  I can tell you that the boy was colored with copies and the background was done with chalks and colored pencils.  The little puddle was done with Copic and then I used my white gel pen to highlight it and then a little Glossy Accents on it to make it look wet.

I really like creating backgrounds on the card that the image is printed on.  I've been trying to build up my courage to do it more often.  I'm always afraid I am going to work forever coloring my image and then mess it up when I try to do the background.  And sometimes I do!
Sandy Allnock is a pro at creating backgrounds on her cards.  She has a great Youtube channel and blog with lots of information.  She has inspired me to try backgrounds more often.  I've been practicing!!

Have an Amazing day!
