Best Catch in the Bay

My card base is Pool Party.  A beautiful color that I don't use often enough.  I did a lot of masking on this card,  I started the card by positioning the fisherman just right of the  approximate center of the card.  I then stamped the house stamp in the lower left corner.   I stamped both of these stamps again on posted notes and fussy cut them out to create mask. I put the mask over my stamped images to protect them when I stamped my water.    I added the water from High Tide over the masked image.  I used Memento Tuxedo Black for stamping.  I removed the mask and colored with my  Stampin' Blends.   I used Dark Pool Party for the water.   For the fisherman I used Dark Night of Navy for pants.  I also used Crumb Cake for hat, boots and bags.  The house is colored in Light Calypso Coral,  with a Crumb Cake roof.  The windows used a little Light Pineapple Punch.  the house further away was colored with Soft Suede.  Smoky Slate for Steps and Old Olive Stampin' Blends for grass and bushes.  I stamped the moon from the High Tide stamp set in Pineapple Punch.  I then masked the sun, fisherman and the house.  I also masked a horizon line.  I used a sponged brayer to create sky.  I started with Balmy Blue.  I decided I wanted a darker sky, so I then added Blueberry Bushel until I got a dark  sky area.   I removed my mask and added the birds over the moon area.   Then I added the greeting with Dimensionals.
