Whipper Snapper Cattails

I love cattails!! So when I saw Anna Wight's new Fish Friends set with these darling cattails, I actually squealed. I colored them, and the sweet dragonfly, with copics, and added a bit of glitter to the dragonfly. I then added some fun flock to the cattails, cause that's the most fun thing about them irl...their texture. The shapes are all Nestabilities (Spellbinders), and the flowers were made with Martha Stewart punches and the 5-petal flower (Stampin' Up!). The border punch is also Martha Stewart, and the tag was made with a cuttlebug die.

Supplies:
Stamps - Fish Friends (Whipper Snapper)
Paper - Neenah Natural White, Papaya Puree Dark, Buttercream (pris
matics), Chloe's Closet (Making Memories)
Ink - Vintage Sepia (Versafine), Tuxedo Black (Memento)
Accessories - Copics, Curved Rectangles Nestabi
lities (Spellbinders), Martha Stewart Punches, 5-petal and slot punch (SU), Fun Flock, glitter, Cuttlebug, sewing machine, Latte Pearls (Kaisercraft), Ribbon (Papertrey), dimensional tape

The first time I ever saw cattails was in Nevada somewhere between Carson City and Virginia City on my way to the Reno Air Races. It was love at first sight and I had to immediately stop on the side of the road to inspect them more closely and of course admire them. Yours are sensational.

This is so very beautiful, Tosh!! I love your cattails, and all of your Spellbinders shapes!! Your layered flower is stunning, and I love the edging!! (I have a fondness for cattails as well. They remind me of my childhood...walking down the country road to the creek.)
