That's right, baby! I've got blog candy today. See that cutie over on my card, sitting on the dock fishing? He could be yours! More specifically, the entire Look What I Caught stamp set from Storage Units, Ink & More could be yours. Check out the entire stamp set here, after you enter the drawing of course.Now, about the card. I stamped the boy/dock/fishing pole (all one big stamp) and colored with Copic markers. I added in a few extra waves with my markers. The cattails, bait and hat were stamped and colored on scrap card stock, then cut out and glued on the card. I glued them flat, but it still gives a little bit of dimension in real life. The scallops on the right are one inch circles glued part way under the next layer, with a brad in each center.
What's In It?
Stamps: Look What I Caught (SU Ink)
Paper: chocolate chip, celery and saffron prints (Stampin' Up!); Boho Chic (Making Memories); white (Papertrey Ink)
Ink: graphite black (Brilliance); Jumbo Java (VersaMagic)
Accessories: Copic markers; 1/2" circle and photo corner punches (SU!); antique brads (Lasting Impressions)
Now, how do you win?
Leave a comment right here on my blog. Any old comment will do, but if you need a question, how about this: what is you favorite stamping technique? I rarely remember to do it, but I like when images are cut out of the box, sort of like the cattails and hat above.
The Fine Print:
Be sure I can get hold of you. If I choose a winner with no email address/means of contact, I'll choose another winner. I'll pick a random commenter to win after midnight (Eastern) Thursday night and let you all know by Friday morning.
Now, head on over to Lauren's blog, cause she has candy too!

What an adorable card. I love it.
At the moment paper piecing is my most favorite technique. I love cutting those little pieces of paper and sticking them to part of my image! It kind of reminds me of playing paper dolls all over again!

Cute Card. I always feel like it is harder to make "boy" themed cards.... this is perfect!
My favorite is using the embossing folders on my new cuttlebug. Trouble is, they're so PRECIOUS that I can't just put them on a card! That would be so WRONG!! So I just sit and look at them and go "Ahhhhh. Ohhhhh" and smile a lot.
love the card, I love cutting images, it ust give it a pop.
Cute card! I still like to sit and color. I stamp up alot of different images and then I just color..always relaxing to me. Thanks for the chance to win. Hugs,
Anne S

Hi there! What a cute set! We just got back from a mini-vacation up in the mountains and my husband and kids went fishing. Anyway, a favorite technique? I suppose at the moment it is embossing. I've been doing that a lot lately.
I love embossing with clear powder and then using my brayer to make the image come alive.
phonio@yahoo.com
I just love to stamp-I wish I had more time to do it. I love the comments when you give a hand made card to someone. So many people say they keep them and can't wait to see what I'm going to make for a Christmas card!

What a cute set. My favorite is to paper piece. I don't know why, maybe it reminds of paper dolls when I was little. I have approx. 15 nephews and just a few neices so any kind of boy stamp gets my attention. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
The stamp reminds me of vacations, fishing off the dock at Green Lake, WI. One summer, my dad was laid off from work and our family spent three months living in a garage with a nearby outhouse; returning home in August. That was the best vacation ever.
Recently, I have become a paper piecing expert! I thoroughly enjoy "dressing" my stamped images!
I love your card it reminds me of my sons when they were younger...fishing at the lake...what fond memories!
Thanks for the opportunity to win this GREAT set!!!

I think there are too many fun techniques to pick just one. Cute fishing card. kim
Awesome card! My favorite right now is inking the embossing folder, you get two different effects when you ink one side, then another when you ink the other side & emboss with the cuttlebug word on the folder facing down & emboss that way too! I luv it!
How cute!!
I like to add lots of stuff and doodle on my things currently. That could change tomorrow...or 5 minutes from now though. LOL!
What a darling set. My new favorite is coloring with copics. Second is the kiss technique.
I just like to stamp! Whatever way the set seems to "speak" to me, if you know what I mean! I'm not very good at coloring...I think I need to take a class. Thanks for a chance to win, your card in cute. Gail S.

What a great stamp set. Just perfect since my boys have been asking to go fishing all summer long, this totally reminds me of many photos I've taken. How cool to put it on a card! My favorite technique? I think would be creating backgrounds with different mediums. But then.......I don't know if I really could pick. Thanks for an awesome stamp set! Cheryl

chrystalynne@msn.com
So cute. Perfect for the little fishermen I know (my 2 sons and husband).
Um, my favorite technique is when you stamp an image on patterned paper, cut it out, and stick it to the image on the card. I forgot what it is called.
sekrusty@sbcglobal.net
Very cute! I don't really have a favorite technique. I guess if I had to choose...embossing is still something I like to do...although not enough of it lately! :0)

valerpati8@aol.com
Your card is so cute. I am always looking for new techniques to try. Thanks for the chance to win this set, it is a cute one.
This little guy is so cute! I do a lot of paper piecing and often end up modifying stamps to make new designs. I've mostly used animals or objects, and am getting into People stamps. So this set would be great.
I really love the look of background dry embossing.
Thanks for the chance to win.
JIB
jibim@neo.rr.com
Love the Stamp!! It's so so cute.
I would say the technique I get most comment about when I do it is using my ink pad and a blender marker. It's such an easy way to get a neat watercolor affect if you can't watercolor very well like me. It's so easy to shade the card using the technique. It's been around a while but it's a trusty "WOW" factor for me.
Thanks for the chance to win some blog candy! I love stamping on glossy paper with Versamark and using the brayer over top. You can get some really cool effects this way.
