So goes the title of a famous Dr. Seuss book, which resides still on our bookshelf. It is also the name of a challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.
I took it literally and used fish AND red and blue. I'm lovin' my Bizarro fish stamp. Did you see my Fishy Father's Day card? The stamp sat for 20 or so years in a drawer, and now it's seen ink on two cards within a couple of months of each other! It definitely says "masculine" to me, and so this card fits another challenge over at Mark's Finest Papers.
I'm not usually into things with patriotic colors (that has no effect whatsoever on my patriotism though). But I kinda like how this turned out.
Here are the challenges:
My Late Summer Wreath card was mentioned today on the ColourQ Challenge blog by Arielle - Snappy Stamper. I did not make it into the top Court, but hey, an honorable mention is just fine with me!
Thanks for joining me today. Until next time...
Happy Stamping,
Colleen

Any fisherman would go ga-ga after this card. Fabulous use of the challenge, even including the fish LOL
I'd have to say that that Bizarro fish stamp is THE best fish stamp ever. I love it!! And you are making some quite excellent stamps with it, Colleen!! I love this one, super simple, such clean lines, bold colors. Great for the CAS challenge! And this doesn't at all scream "patriotic" to me at all. Just a classic color combo, that's all!! Congrats on the shout-out on your late summer wreath card. It was absolutely beautiful and certainly deserves all that and more :)
That is a great fish stamp and makes a wonderful masculine. I think it is fabulous in the red, blue, and white. Congrats on the mention of your wreath card. It is a beauty!
