Polka Dot Orchard Father's Day Card

Hello!

I am back with another project featuring products from Polka Dot Orchard.

I started by printing the fish from the Polka Dot Orchard You're a Reel Catch digital stamp set onto white cardstock. I then fussy cut around the fish with my scissors.

Next, I used Kat Scrappiness mini blending brushes and Distress Inks to quickly color the fish. I used the following Distress Ink pairs:

• Spiced Marmalade and Rustic Wilderness

• Abandoned Coral and Salty Ocean

• Kitsch Flamingo and Cracked Pistachio

• Milled Lavender and Pumice Stone

I then trimmed a piece of Bee Inspired Watercolor Paper to 4" x 5.25" in size and embossed it using the Spellbinders Underwater Waltz 3D embossing folder and my Sizzix Big Shot. I added some blue using Grabie watercolors in Turquoise and Peacock. Any blue watercolors would work here.

As the background was drying, I dug through my stash of Polka Dot Orchard sentiments and found one from the Dropping a Line digital set that says "Happy Father's Day!" I fussy cut around the sentiment.

When my background was dry, I arranged my fish on it and glued them in place with Art Glitter Glue, trimming the excess off the edges. I then glued my sentiment in place and glued the whole panel to a white A2 card base.

That's it! I hope you enjoyed the card and are inspired to create.

Happy crafting!
