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

Hi Sue and all that have sometime had to sit on a wet cold bank for hours and hours and gone home with an empty cool bag just because we thought we loved our school crush lol not me im glad to say. Whatever makes them want to play with maggots and worms?
I've been asked for a fishing theme card for a lads 30th but the customer wants a more 'risqué' comical card!!
Never thought id be the kind of person that reaches for her phone whilst in bed in some fancy hotel - sign of the times? Or addiction to PC ? It has to be the latter.
Smashing card Sue. So glad to have you back xx
