Daddy, You're A Prize Catch




Well, I just got done putting together this Father's Day card and I wanted to share it with all of you..

To create this card, I used the Everyday Paper Dolls cart to cut out the fish, boat, fishing pole, and fish basket.. The seaweed and grass was cut from Create A Critter.. I used a Tiny Mosaic Cuttlebug embossing folder on my fish to give him a scaly look, and I used the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder to add some texture to the fish basket.. My sentiment was created on the computer... To finish this card I did a lot of inking, some tearing, used decorative scissors, a white marker, stickles, some eyelets , and twine..

Challenges:
A Crafty Little Place - One for the boys
A Spoon Full of Sugar - enjoying the Sunshine
Bitten by the Bug 2 - fish cut
Cupcake Craft Challenges - one for the boys

I Love this card! Everything about it! You knocked this out of the boat on this challenge! LOL Love the fish and the touch of sparkle, and all the texture you have! I didn't have the cart this week and almost used this cart for the fishies too but decided to sit it out this week, now I'm sorry I did. I just had to become a follower, love your blog!
