The challenge for August over at Tando Creative is 'Travel' . It gave me a chance to play with some new stamps that I got recently....a new PaperArtsy Hotpick with the lovely ship and the enormous fish hahaha! This card is for my Step-Dad who was a sea faring man...bet he never saw as big a fish as this eh :D
Of course the main draw to this set is the wording...being Cornish it was a must have! I did google it but it doesn't exist anymore, though interestingly there are others around the country. I masked the background and sprayed with dylusion ink. The wording has been stamped & layered onto a cloud! Well, why not...its a nice shape hahaha!
If you fancy havin a go at this challenge then pop over ~HERE~. There are some lovely prizes to be won...such a shame I can't enter hahaha!!!! Thank you for popping by, HUGS xxx

I thought of you when I saw the wording on this stamp set and sure enough you couldn't resist! The card looks fab, love the cloud!
It is indeed a giant fish - quite a few fish suppers to be had there!
Great card and love the background masking.
:)
What a gorgeous card my lovely, wonderful colours and spot on composition as always.
Lucky me got to see it in real life too ha ha.
Love you x x x x
Awesome card! I love the yellow background and the way you used the cloud is brilliant. Thanks for the inspiration! =)
Very pretty card. The colours are beautiful.
Super stamp - super crafting x
....cardboard box (i'll be singing that all now now LOL)
lovely card :)
unusual stamp Karen - looks like the fishermen would never land that fish... a bit monty-pythonesque!!!
Lovely card for your Step-Dad and appropriate to recognise his days of old.
Your title made me smile cos as soon as I read it, I said 'Cardboard Box' in my head (kids song - remember it from a few camping trips where they played it in the club every night!!!)...
