Wishing For Better Days

Manly Challenge

I created this card several weeks ago for Father's Day for
my sweet Father-In-Laws... This week's challenge over
at MO's is hosted by Elaine.. We were to use a manly image.  This
is available at Mo's Digital Pencil.  The image is called Fishing

Colored with my Prisma Pencils.  Lots of sponging with Stampin
Up inks.. I have used this image often.  It is one of my many favorites. 
Come join in the fun over at MO's Challenge Blog.  Create a card
and add to Mr. Linky. You could win a free Mo image..

Also chose this image for the Dare To Get Dirty challenges over on
Splitcoaststampers.. Come check them out.. This one fits the
TV Dinners hosted by Bev.. This image reminds me of The Andy Griffith Show..
Check out the details here.  DTGD2010

  1. Dawn, this is so breath taking and looks real! I love it. Using the white around the boat and in the bucket of water gives it a more realistic feeling. Perfect with the sky and your shading on the clothing, tackle box is excellent!! LOVE IT!!
