Today’s Clean & Simple Challenge (CAS439) on Splitcoaststampers is Friendship & this should be perfect for a friend, to just drop a note to say hi.
I thought this  greeting would be perfect w/ the Big Mouth Bass (isn’t he a cutie?) w/ some waves, Bubbles & dragonflies floating around. Only problem was, the Fishing Pole kinda faced the wrong direction. Misti & a piece of blank rubber to the rescue! (Here’s a tutorial so you can see how it’s done.) I put the fishing pole into my Misti & the blank rubber piece under it. Inked & stamped the fishing pole several times onto the rubber. Wanted to make sure I got good ink coverage. Then I place the white card stock on top of the rubber & rubbed it w/ my hand & presto! A reverse image! Then I added the fish, waves, bubbles & dragonflies. After coloring, I added a little Wink of Stella to the fish & dragonflies. Hopefully you can see it a bit in the closeup below.
Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

This image is so cute Julie. Love the blue-ish green color combo. The sentiment is so perfect for this image too. May the sun shine bright on your day as well. Take care 🙂
Cute little card. The tutorial was very interesting. How clever of you to think to mirror image your fishing pole. Have a nice day!
