I really like making easel cards and here is another one.
I love the expression on Edwin's face on the Edwin Waiting for Fish image. He looks like he has been waiting for hours for an unsuspecting fish to take his bait. I hope he put on lots of sun screen before he went out on the water.
Edwin was having a tough day. There was no one to hang out with so he decided to go fishing. The fish didn't want to hang out with him either.
Even America the Eagle seemed to be just a shadow of himself.
Edwin and the boat were colored with Copic Sketch markers. America the Eagle was stamped with Memento London Fog ink.
The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The balloon is a stick-on. The fishing line is SU's Baker's Twine in Cherry Cobbler.
The bottom of the easel has roses from Wild Orchid Crafts. The sentiment panel was cut using Nestibilities Labels Six and sponged with SU Pacific Point ink. The sand dollar, starfish and shell are buttons with the shanks removed and attached with glue dots. I found them at Michael's or AC Moore.
My son-in-law's birthday is coming up in a few days so I took advantage of the Tilda's Town challenge to use an Edwin stamp and have his card ready early.
Thanks for stopping by. See you soon.

Love the card Kathy and the watermark eagle behind Edwin is so perfect. He does look so lonesome in his boat and for some reason the eagle seems to give him some hope!!! Love the boat and the water look. You did a great job on the card.
Hugs, Jean
That is a cute use of the eagle image on the background. Sweet colored Edwin and that balloon is super clever :o)
