TRY IT ON TUESDAY - GUEST DESIGNER

What a great month I've had being chosen as Guest Designer for three separate challenge blogs.  It's been an exciting time for my birthday month lol! 

Today I'm a Guest Designer for Try it on Tuesday .  Their challenge this week is For the Man in Your Life.  The man in my life is my hubby - we've been together 41 years this year and married for 37 of them!  He is a keen fly fisherman and when I saw this stamp set from Woodware I knew it would come in handy.  It's a single stamp but I have used parts of the stamp as layers.

I love collages and am having a lot of fun making these style of cards lately.  I started off by using some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink in Salty Ocean for my background.  I stamped the stamp a few times to be able to cut out the various parts with some stitched circle framelits and layer them on to each other.  I fussy cut out the fish and added them.  I added some twine behind to represent fishing line.

The Happy Birthday is a Tim Holtz stamp and was randomly stamped on the background.  I added some washi tape here and there.
