Ye Ole "Fishin' Hole"

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a card I made for another brother in law's birthday.  Why an outhouse birthday card you ask?  Well when my mother in law was alive, no family gathering was complete without some sort of "bathroom humor".  This brother in law would get the joke right away since he has the same sense of humor as she did.  My card is using the digital image Ye Ole "Fishin Hole" (1466-DG) from Impression Obsession.  I've had this image for awhile and haven't used it yet (NBUS).  If you don't like digital images, and prefer rubber, you can get the Ye Ole "Fishin' Hole" stamp version here.  I absolutely LOVE the Gary Robertson line of stamps Impression Obsession carries.

I started out by printing my image onto Neenah white card stock before coloring with my dusty Lyra and Koh-I-Noor pencils (while my husband was watching the news) before stippling some Tim Holtz tumbled glass, broken china and mowed lawn distress inks around the colored image before layering.  Once I had added some vintage brads, I pulled out my paper distresser tool and ran it along the edges before adding it to my card using glue dots.  Waterfall ice stickles finish off the front..  

I decided to continue the finishing theme to the inside of my card by dusting off some long retired Stampin Up sets: Fishing, On Your Birthday, Watercolor Minis then stamped and colored the images including a hand drawn tree.  I then stippled some tumbled glass distress ink around the edges and adhered to my card.  I'm really happy with how this turned out.  Although I'm still not feeling too good thanks to COVID and another migraine, I'm really happy with how this turned out.
