Second prize goes to someone who does a project and they get 2 stamps from Diana’s store of their choice.

For this blog hop, I prepared a center step card. I picked images from Magnolia-licious Store for this card today. Since this card theme is related to fishing, I picked Edwin Waiting For Fish and Tilda Gone Fishing. Then I wanted to set them in an outdoor scene. I altered the background stamp and add a mini lake area to attach it the background stamp. In addition, I added some glossy accent on top to create some watery effect. I also used some embroidery thread to replace the fish line on their fishing rods of the stamps.

Here are the closer view of these images.

And the closer view of this background image with a little free hand cut lake. I colored the lake with copic marker BG10, then applied the glossy accent on top to make it look watery.


I poked a hold and let Edwin's fish rod through the hole. For Tilda, I created a little hook using a thin wire and wrapped it to the end of her rod.

View of the inside. I made a pocket and made a tag to tuck inside. Added a fish rod from Jolee's Embellishment.
