Make It Colourful: Colouring Reflections on Water

Morning all, and today is a new weekly challenge at Make It Colourful. I have my DT project to show you, but first I'd like to let you know about an exciting upcoming image release later this month. Now, when I say exciting, I'm not just trying to hype it up, I really do find this exciting....Make It Crafty and Tiddly Inks have got together and produced some new images on the Steampunk theme, with some great character and building images. I have to say I've never been interested in Steampunk, but when I got my hot little hands on these images, I printed them off straight away and started colouring. I'm not usually that quick, he he. Anyway, you can read all about it HERE.

So, our theme this week is Colouring Water Reflections, and this is the card I made. I've used Crissy Armstrong's Great Day To Fish image before, but this time I merged it with another digi image, Make It Crafty's The Beach, after erasing the foreground, so that the pier comes from the island into the sea. The image is so big that there wasn't much room for embellishments, so I simply embossed and sanded a sheet of yellow coredinations whitewash cardstock, made some rope from yellow yarn and threaded that through some punched holes, added a 'Gone Fishing!' sign, and also a little palm tree charm that came all the way from the US from my lovely friend Joan, from Stamping With a Passion:

Isn't the palm tree cute?
