I went back and forth several times with this challenge, trying to decide what I wanted to do and in the end I die cut my fisherman using my Boss Kut Gazelle and a free die cut from Bird's Cards. If you have an electronic die cutting machine and you've never visited Bird's blog, you are missing a special treat. Her files all cut beautifully and they're free! Go check out all her wonderful creations and leave her some love!I used paper purchased years ago from Close to my Heart, as the BG makes me think of a big bridge over a body of water. My little fish stamp is one I've had for many years also. It has no manufacturer or name on it, but I decided I'd use my Twinkling H2O's for his shiny scales, though the photograph doesn't do it justice. My 'Fishing you' sentiment (Our Craft Lounge) is a little play on words -- I'll likely add 'a Happy Birthday' inside for one of our sports-minded male friends.
Can't wait to see your clever ideas for a fishing project -- share it today with us @ My Sheri Crafts!!!

Seems like such a simple card at first glance but you have so many wonderful details that pops out as you stare at this card... LOVE it!
Love it! It looks like my hubby! (he loves to fish)
Marge, that paper was the perfect background for the fisherman cut! The scale of the fish stamp was equally perfect too! Everything went well together quite wonderfully!
