Catching Best Fishes

I have had the image on today's card colored up and waiting for the perfect sketch.  I took this week's Card Pattern's sketch #97 and grunged it up a bit for a "guy" card. 

When I first saw the swordfish image from Amber Ink's Fish Wishes set I knew it would be perfect for Birthday cards for some of the fishers in my family.  This is one versatile set that works for quite a few holidays (including Valentine's Day) and would be great for so many occasions.

Lots of dimension on this one with the frame and image popped up on dimensionals.  I also could not resist adding a hook that I made out of craft wire (yay, finally using wire that I bought and never took out of the package). 
Here is the Card Pattern's sketch, be sure to check out the blog for all the details.
Smiles,
Julie
