So, I know I'm not the only one who has trouble with masculine cards and when I make them they always tend to be very, very distressed and with trucks. haha. This card was a step out of that rut haha. I didn't have a fish stamp so I found some in a patterned paper from this paper pad. I used watercolour cardstock and a few distress inks to create my background. Then I cut a piece of patterned paper from a Simple Stories pad to get the sandy bottom. I then heat embossing the sentiment with gold embossing powder. (The sentiment is from a Studio G stamp which I unfortunately can't link)
I added the fish next. One flat one popped up and my favourite part is how the bottom fish is tucked behind the sentiment. I took my craft knife and cut around the letter so I was able to tuck it behind. Then I popped up his head so it looks like he's coming from behind it. To finish it off, I matted it with a piece of patterned paper.
