Happy Birthday To A "Reel"y Cool Guy

Hi there my crafty friends!  For today's fishing themed card, I started with a piece of Arctic Blue card as the background.  I cut the Fishing Frame out of tan card.  I used some Gathered Twigs distress ink and shaded around the frame.  I used the die again a few more times and cut some of the individual elements from the frame.  I cut the Gone Fishing sign out of brown card.  I used a fine tipped black marker to go over the words and the lines in the wood, then mounted it on top of the one on the frame.  I cut the Fishing bag out of brown card and did the same thing, gluing it on top of the one on the frame.  I cut the fishing rod out of white card and used markers to colour it, then glued it on the frame. The fishing net and cattails were done the same way.  I added mounting foam to the back of the frame and added it to the arctic blue card.  I cut the sentiment from the die set in brown and shadowed it in black then glued it to the middle of the frame.  The frame was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 5 3/4"  x  7" in size.  All for now, Sue x
