Summer is almost here and fishing is on the minds of water sportsmen. Father's day is also just around the corner. Making cards for guys is difficult for me. My creative side wants to make "pretty things" that just don't work for masculine themes. I thought I'd take a few weeks create images that can be used for masculine cards, journals or scrapbook pages.. Now we all know that women fish, play golf and engage in all kinds of sports. That's why this image is appropriate for anyone who likes the sport of fishing. I haven't made the card yet, but here's my plan for the image.
Create a beach scene with sand, water and in the horizon a orange-yellow sun rising in the background. Maybe a few birds in the sky with a "V" stroke of the pen. My scene will be created with watercolors. After painting my scene, cut a circle out of the middle of the beach scene using a 2-1/2" punch. Adhere the card stock with the punched out circle to the card base with pop-ups or foam tape. Position the painted punched circle inside the cut out and adhere flat to the card base. The scene will then look 3-D dimensional. I'll print my fishing sign, cut and color and pop-up the image onto the right side of the card. I have an embellishment of a fishing rod and a fisherman's basket that I'll adhere to the left front. I purchased a few tiny shell embellishments that I'll add to the sandy beach. Haven't decided where to put the sentiment on the front of the card yet. Maybe I'll just fill the inside with my thoughts and leave the outside with only the scene I created.
