And it's really not the look I was aiming for! I was thinking a lovely serene, peaceful scene, with a touch of shimmer. However, all my blue inks seem to be a bit too vibrant or dark to be serene... sigh. He looks a bit like he's fishing underwater doesn't he?! Poor love.
Anyway, I've made the background using distress inks in 'broken china' and 'faded jeans' and added some shimmer with cosmic shimmer spray in 'aqua lagoon'. It looks quite splodgy in the pic but it does actually have a nice shimmer. The image is from a Flourishes set called 'kids at play', stamped in 'paris dusk' memento ink. Sentiment stamp is from a Little Claire set.

I'd say it's serene. Fishing at dusk, I reckon, not underwater! It's a lovely card, great job!

Oh Lisa .. .. I love the look of this very much.
I think this is probably how the world looks if you go fishing at the crack of dawn .. .. my Dad often used to do that.
He would have been out and fished and be home again before us kids even got up!!!
Hope you are having a good weekend.
Love Jules xx
Its Fab, and a lovely shade of blue. Love it xx Mau
I love your blue shades and what a fab stamp, really lovely card :)
Lisa this is stunning. The shades of blue are lovely and he doesn't look like he's fishing under water at all!
I hope you're having a great weekend.

Gorgeous, I think it looks a bit Mystical. Mary x
This is lovely - and serene I think! Great use of the inks and I love the touch of shimmer.
It' annoying when a card doesn't quite come out the same as you envisaged isn't it! But in this case you have still created a right beauty!

Wow this is beautiful Lisa and such an stunning scene, love your colour choice :) Donna x
Wow - what a stunner Lisa! It doesn't look as if he's underwater at all - in fact I think he went out fishing in the morning and had such a good time that he's still there in the evening; I bet his mum's wondering where he is... Shall I shut up now?! Hope you've managed to conquer your hayfever symptoms. Vx
I think this is gorgeous. It reminds me of twilight, when the sun has dropped and the light has faded.

Jo x
it's a stunning card! I think he is grabbing the last few minutes of twilight at the end of a wonderful days fishing (or he has nodded off, as my uncle did regularly when he was fishing!)
It looks serene enough to me, I love it :o)

Lisa, you've inspired me to get my stamp out and get it inky!!! This is gorgeous!! My Card
You are very hard on yourself but when we have a image/effect in mind it is hard to see properly if its not what we get! I love this think it is peaceful and serene he is fishing at dusk or is that dawn? XOXO Zoe
I never like to tell anyone..."I can't believe you think..." but this is very serene to me. I love it. Fabulous card!!
Great card, I think the background is just right
