Fish More is a set my STAMPING heart has been yearning for: I LOVE it!
There are SO many darling lures, plugs and LINES, sprinkled with humor and
completely fitting for this time of year. I feel DRENCHED in summer craft!
See WHAT I mean! {Isn't THIS a DARLING sentiment!}
Of course, literal me - I had to make this lil' lure do just THAT! WIGGLE!
Sooooooo, I made a wire spring, by twisting some wire around a pen, and then
inserting it into a second fish, poking it through and securing it on the back side.
then glue the blank lure to the back side of the top fish. {It's ON there, babies!}
I also stamped the hook in black ink, then created an illusion of "wiggle"
by stamping two more times in a Kraft die ink. I'm diggin' the look!
But WAIT - there's MORE! {Tee Hee}
of the Guiding Light companion die - *SWOON!* I had SUCH
crafty fun with the lighthouse die... (One of FIVE different images!)
But, it with the help of another of my FAVORITE Wplus9 Design
I sponged clouds, directly to the background of this beach scene
(the GIRL loves makin' a lil' scene!), by creating a template with
the clouds, from Hearts & Clouds. Using a sponge, I applied white
Craft ink, through the cloud template, then set with a heat gun. Next,
I used the leftover cloud shape as a template, to add a second layer
of white Craft ink, to create highlights in the clouds. Once they
were complete and dried, I attached the light house die, with a
small piece of tape. With the taped side facing INTO my embossing
machine, I cut and removed the lighthouse shape.
There's something SO artistically satisfying about re-setting the
inked light house back into this composition! And CHECK out
and rich and WONDERFUL! I used Dawn's cream
OATMEAL
cardstock for the sand, added a little layer of lightly watercolored
Crumb ink and then ripped the edge for a fun, sea foam touch...
{I REALLY want to dip my toes in THERE! LOL!}
So, YEAH! Did I mention - FUN! Yipeeee!
There are STILL chances to WIN these sets and CERTAINLY
get yourself ALL inspired for a little shopping when these
babies go LIVE in the Wplus9 STORE! I hope you'll
give the girls a visit! Like I said, I'm BLOWN away by
the fantastic work this round! Hope you'll be, too!
