Going Fishing with Chicken Girl Design

It was so nice to get the chance to meet the super sweet and super talented Mercy last week in Chicago at CHA! I used her sketch for inspiration for this fun card featuring a digi image from Chicken Girl Design. I met Chicken Girl herself (also known as Jannie) last week, too, when she joined the i {heart} papers DT to walk the trade show floor on the first day of the show.

I printed the Gone Fishing digi image on a white cardstock panel and cut it out with a circle Nestabilities die, then colored the image with Copic markers. I printed the image a second time so I could cut out just the fish and attach it to the image with foam tape for a just-jumped-out-of-the-water-and-on-to-the-fishing-line look. The water droplets around the fish are coated with some Glossy Accents for a watery look.

I used a piece of Cosmo Cricket’s Joy Ride patterned paper to cover most of the cardfront. The panel underneath the image is embossed to add some interest. A strip of coordinating faux suede ribbon runs across the cardfront. I accented it with a corduroy brad to add some more texture.
