The fisherman

 A few weeks ago I made a card using this fisherman stamp from Creative Stamping, and enjoyed it so much I've made another similar one. 


I used the cover of the book "Where the Crawdad Sings" as my inspiration - it is one of the books suggested for the current Library Challenge, and also one on my "want to read" list as I've seen some great reviews. And I kept to shades of orange and blue plus neutrals so I could also take part in the current Colour Hues challenge. 

I used distress inks to create the background, keeping the lighter shades to the areas I wanted to place the image and sentiment, and black Versafine for the silhouettes. The tree stamps are very old UMs from my stash and the reeds an even older Linda Luckin stamp. 

I am sharing this with

The Library Challenge - Pick of the Paperbacks
