A card that would depict a hobby while using no stamping? A stencil that would produce a pattern? And a two-color scheme to cover it all? And make it for a male.
I thought I could find an answer to these multiple requirements and set out to select my supplies. I didn't need much, just a stencil, colors according to the scheme and TH text strips.
I stenciled the background and cut it to size, then adhered it to a backing. Now it was time to select the text and bring it onto strip of a vellum. Originally I had two in mind, but in the end I found four that suit each other well. Put together they evoke the dream of every fisherman out there. Listen to this:
"glittering in the sun:
a very wonderful place -
a glimpse of heaven
wonderful dream"
Entering this in all the challenges that were my inspiration today:
