Stampotique Designers Challenge .... 139

This week over at the Stampotique Designers Challenge blog my team mate R. Maria Sabina has challenged us all to make a Masculine project. In next months Craft Stamper magazine the free stamp is designed by her, and there is a link to her blog on the right of this post, she is amazing, I just love her stamp designs, and use her cute rabbit stamps lots!
So she said we had to put the bling and cuteness away in the draw and do a card for a man to make them feel special at least once in a while, with something for them.
So with that in mind I thought that Father's Day is fast approaching if my dad was still here what would I do for him.
Well we lived by the sea, and he loved the sea and fishing and fisherman stories! In fact for generations the men folk of my family have been fisherman at sea!
So in honour of my father, Great Grandad, Great Great Grandad and GGG Grandad I made this card.




The three mermaids represent me and my two sisters, see the likeness !!!!
Here is a few step by step photos
I started with a basic stepper card



Then using my Gelli Plate and a Neelz Expressionz mask with the fish cut off I made the background paper


Covered the card with my background paper leaving bits stuck out


Till it was all covered



Then stamped these three amazing mer people
You can buy them on the Stampotique Webb site there is a link on the right of this post.


Coloured them in with Prisma pencils and glued them into place


I then added a quote and and a Happy Fathers Day message,my card is done
