SUPPLIES:
- Three tags approximately 3-3/4 by 1-1/2 (I made the tags
for this card using a manila file folder.)
- Black reinforcement rings
- Various cat eye pigment inks
- Black Brilliance ink
- Blue pigment ink
- Feathery bronze fiber
- Khaki, gold and eggplant card stock

|
|
Directions:
Attach black ring protectors to the tag holes. Place the tags
down side by side and with the edge of a piece of cardstock colored
in blue pigment ink drag the edge across the tags to create a
water effect. Stamp the fish images using various cat eye pigment
inks of your choice. I randomly selected colors and dabbed the
pads to achieve the mottled appearance.
Stamp the fishing lure in black brilliance ink. Attach fibers
to each tag tucking the ends of the fiber underneath and leaving
only the outside ends to dangle free.
Layer the tags by leaving a small space in between on a green
khaki card bordered by a slightly larger yellow card. Mount the
completed card front to a folded eggplant card.

Press snake stamp into a mixture of tan and transparency sculpey
III clay. Bake as directed. Lightly paint the front with
black glaze vernis made by Plaid. Let dry. Take a brush and lightly
paint the image with antique gold Pearl Ex. Then use red metallic
rub on over the snake image only. This will
cause the gold to go into the stamped image of the snake. Also
gives a little color to the snake.
Take a cinnamon colored piece of cardstock and tear the edges
and stipple with brown dye ink. Layer the clay piece onto the
cinnamon cardstock and a leather looking piece of texture paper.
Then place on top of shelf liner (I found this great shelf liner
at Target. This is actually the underside. The other side looks
like a tight bamboo weave in a zig zag pattern.) Finish
by placing on a black card.
