Has Spring sprung ?

Good morning everyone, I hope everyone is well this morning, the weather has certainly been behaving lately hasn't it, hopefully spring is on it's way. I can't wait for the warmer weather.

Well done to everyone who entered the Lots of Layers challenge at Here Come The Boys  , there were so many fantastic entries, I had the task of picking the winner from all the fab cards. So well done to # 68 Chrissy and to our top 3 (4).

Onto to this fortnight's challenge, it's a No Stamping challenge this time. We want to see some different techniques that DON'T involve stamps or digi-stamps and of course it must be for a male.

This is what I have made :

I went for a gift bag this time, I have never done one of these before and I spotted this Kanban decoupage sheet in a reduced box in a garden centre a couple of weeks ago. Isn't he a cutie?
I started by doing my cloud background and onto this I added some waves which I cut with my Cameo.

I put the decoupage together and fitted it into the waves to create a feeling of depth. I left the little fish hanging from the side for maximum effect. I love how proud he looks that he caught a fishy !!
I die cut some clouds using a Sizzix die ( I think ) and used my distress ink Faded Jeans to edge the clouds, added the greeting cloud and VOILA a little boy's gift bag.

I hope you like my little creation, thanks for stopping by, see you next time.

Hugs
