Today card is using products from Paper Rose. I have problems with making male cards, I'm sure I'm not alone in this. This collection make it super easy.

I really enjoyed making this background. Since last June I have played a couple of times with making "water" this time using watercolour paint and gel pen.

On to my card. I branched out of my comfort zone. I don't use alot of pattern paper. When I do it is usually a full panel compared to a stripe as in this card.
I wanted to explain what I did with the embossing for those who may not know how to do this.
I got 2 pieces of chipboard and glued them together, this is only because I thought it wasn't thick enough. I gauged this on trying to get it thick enough to replace one platform of my Big Shot machine.
After it was dried, I drew what I wanted to cut out. The image I had in mind was like he was sheltering under a tree. After cutting it out, I placed it with my piece of card stock where I wanted it and used the thick white plate and one of the clear plates. You will need to adjust this to your machine depending on your chipboard. This might mean adding shim or playing with the plates. Big Shots have flaps you can remove depending on if you are embossing or die cutting, so these can be helpful, if needed.
