OK now onto the challenge, which is Steppin' into Summer. There's a great prize of a $10 shopping spree in the store and if you don't know which image to pick there is a cute crab design as the current Thursday freebie if you check out the shop. Fishing is the sign that summer really has arrived in this household, as DH heads off to the Windrush and the Leach and other Cotswold rivers, so I decided to use the Gone Fishing set which its stunning realistic drawings.
I've coloured with Copics, my Bass has a load of Glossy Accents which have given him a very lifelike shine and DH kindly let me have some feathers from his flytying stash. I asked for teeny tiny feathers and that is what I got at first, I'm not sure I could see them without my glasses! In the end he handed over some more visible feathers lol and I glued them to the fly. The sentiment is from Create with TLC, the background in Dsitress Inked with Bundled Sage and Faded Jeans and overstamped in the Sage with an Elusive Images flower stem to look like weed. The "line" is a striped rayon embroidery thread. If you click on the picture you can see it better:)
