With Father's Day is quickly approaching, I started looking for a stamp to use to create a card for my dad who is avid fisherman. I found the perfect digital image, Leaping Trout, from Power Poppy. I used google to look at some images of rainbow trout so that I had a guide for coloring. I was really inspired by some of the painting by Anita Phillips.
After coloring the image, I decided to add a little something by using the eclipse technique for the letters "DAD". After watching Jennifer McGuire's tutorial for the eclipse technique, I find myself using it frequently. I think it just adds a little something special.
I finished the inside of the card with the image and a strip of designer paper.
Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day!

I've never used the eclipse technique, but yours is the most successful I have seen. I had to look twice to see it, and it's amazing with that trout image.
So glad you shared with us at Cut it Up for our Nature challenge!
