Big Catch?

Over at the Outlawz Twisted Thursday this week's optional twist is "People" - just add an image or any other element with a person or persons on your project and you've included the twist. Simple! I've used an image called "The Big One" from Stitchy Bear Designs - our Sponsor for February. 

I colored the image using Promarkers. I used several scrap pieces of DP mounted onto kraft - I have lots of DP "frames" as I often cut smaller pieces from the centre of the paper rather from a corner - a great way to reduce all those strips and it's a great way to get the most out of one sheet.
The sentiment is heat embossed with brown EP, the stamp came free with a magazine last year. I used craft foam for the clouds and I found a sheet of fishing themed stickers in my stash - it makes the man's catch look even smaller, hihi.

This card is also for these challenges:
1) Addicted to Stamps - #97 Lots of Layer
2) Cardz 4 Guyz - #56 Kick Back and Relax
3) Clear It Out - Theme: Anything Goes Stash: Anything Goes (stash of stcikers and paper scraps)
4) Cuttin and Stamping Challenge - Masculine
5) Passion For Promarkers Challenge - #282 One for the Boys

        Hahaha!!! Nice image, Pia, and coloured very well!! Love your design with the scrap pieces, you have a very good method for reduce leftovers using remaider frames.
        Love the papers combo you used with kraft, it's perfect for a masculine card!! Love also so much the foam clouds, they have a great 3D look! The fish sticker is fabulous and it makes very well the idea than the fished is dwarfish (more little... that's the right word?)
        Have a wonderful day!
