My Pisces son

Good morning it's time for my Monday dose of Visible Image inspiration and for today I can finally share the card I made for my son for his birthday on 24 February.

Daisy (my granddaughter) helped me make a quick lemon sponge birthday cake for her uncle (my son is not a fan of cake and this was a version he prefers of my standard Victoria sandwich cake). She so proudly carried it in

and helped him blow out his candles.

We had such a fab day together, special family time.

So now to share his card.
I used the following stamps.

  Pisces from the Zodiac set

The son definition.

and elemental stamp set.

Plus the time tunnel stencil.

I made my background with acrylic inks plus some Lindy's sprays which have a gorgeous sheen. It's so hard to show in a photo taken in the evening when I was working.

As it was A4 size I cut it up

I added some background stamping using elemental 

and some stencilling using white ink.

.

I stamped and embossed some of the fish and all the Pisces words onto black card and fussy cut them out.

I then put my card design together.

As I had some spare pieces of this background I also made a bookmark for him. I added 2 fish

and cut up the letters of the Pisces word and mounted them on snippets of black card.  Here are both projects together.

A close up to show the cool elemental stamped background.

and a final collage.
