Someone posted this older pop-up card style recently and since I haven't made one in years, I decided to try it again. I also remembered that Color Hues Color Challenge #44 is using red and blue, and another twist: stars and stripes! I chose this stamp set to be able to incorporate a few subtle stars and stripes into my card (sunset, boats, float, fish, clothing) as a nod to Michele Ferguson's Playing Cards theme here with the Color Hues challenge. I'm also entering at the Four Seasons Challenge Anything Goes Summer here.
Products I used:
M Favorite Things: You Keep Me Afloat stamp and die sets
Judith: Stars stamp
Waffle Flower: A2 Nested Domes dies
Stampin' Up!: Sea Street stamp set (school of fish), chalks (bunny cheeks)
Tim Holtz: Sunset stencil
Pink and Main: Sentiment banner dies
Copic markers
Prismacolor pencil
Distress inks
Ink blending brushes
Hope you are having a fun summer, heat and all!!

Love it! I love pop-up cards and I don't think I've ever seen this one before! Your fussy cutting is likely much better than the dies! and the ink blending and coloring are also great. What a cute card! Thanks for thinking of Color Hues when you created this fun card!
This came together so well, Carol. I love the way you did the fish as if they are swimming in schools around the boat and I think my favorite part is that tiny crab on a boat of his own. LOL Awesome job with the colors and including the stars and stripes too. Thanks for choosing Color Hues to play along with! Have a great day!
Thanks so much ladies! It was a fun one!!!

You've made my fishing loving heart very happy, Carol! and created the most wonderful place to add the red AND stripes - these sunsets are so pretty from our canoe!
Just love it! Thanks so much for Playing Cards with us at Color Hues!

Carol, you crack me up. I too have forgotten about the matching dies and fussy cut images which I detest doing.
