I bought this stamp set from Woodware Collections as both my daughter and my husband fly fish and I thought it might come in handy for cards for them. I've been inspired to use it here for The Male Room challenge which also asked for dry embossing.
I have a great stencil from Tim Holtz which to me looks a little like fishing lines so I've used it here in the background. I inked over it with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide in Salty Ocean and then spritzed it with water to add some water marks.
I used VersaFine Clair in k in Warm Breeze to stamp out part of the stamp and cut it with a stitched die cut. I cut out the little fish and added it to some fine netting. A simple sentiment finished off the card.
