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 Nestabilities (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.
