Happy Friday! Happy crafty friends, this is Jules of Paper Gems by Jules on the blog today with a Fisherman Father's Day card. Father's Day is right around the corner and if you're guy is a big fisherman, you might want to snag some of these new stamps by Unity!

I started with the the background stamp, Below the Ripples Background Stamp, on ivory card stock. I used Faded Jeans Distress Ink on the edge blending inward and then used YG13 and YG23 Copics to color in all of the fish.

Next, I die cut ivory card stock using the Postage Stamp Die and masked off the edge and stamped the guy in Hook, Line & Sunshine stamp set and colored it in using Copics. Once colored, I used Tea Dye Distress Ink on the edge to give a more aged look. I then stamped the fishing lures from the Reel Great Guy stamp set. I colored two of them in using the same colors and fussy cut them out.

Lastly, I stamped the sentiments from the Hook, Line & Sunshine stamp set and die cut it using Scallop & Stitched Sentiment Nesting Dies. Using the Tea Dye Distress Ink, I added the distress color to the edge of the sentiments as well to give that little aged look as well. And a little foam tape behind it all to add dimension and it's all done!
