How this Card was Made:
Art-Stamp Designs Used:

Fold back the first section of the trifold card. (Mountain fold). On this section (actually the back side of the first panel), stamp the bass and Catch Ya Later phrase, positioning the bass so that the edge of the mouth lines up with the fold. Carefully cut away the section of this panel above the design, from the mouth area where it meets the fold to the left edge. Color the design with chalk and/or watercolor pencil, highlighting the fish with silver gel pen and silver metallic rub-ons.

With the first section folded back, plan and stamp the fishing scene onto the back of the center panel of the trifold card so that most of it can be seen behind the Bass section. Color the design with chalk and markers, creating brighter color tones to stand out from the front panel. Cut away the section between the boy’s fish line and the grandpa’s pole; and the section between the grandpa’s fish line and the edge. Fold the two front panels over the back panel. (Valley fold)

Now open your card. Stamp the fish background onto both sides of the inside of the card in one of two ways:

  • Using a stamp alignment tool, stamp the background using a light shade of blue ink, such as Memories Soft Stone; or
  • Stamp the background design with a watermark ink, such as Perfect Medium, and gently brush light blue chalk or powdered pigment (Perfect Pearls) over it. Dust off the residue with a soft tissue or brush.

Stamp a phrase in place, such as Happy Birthday and Best Fishes or Feeling Crappie?
