I make far more feminine cards than cards for males. A few celebrations are coming up so this will be remedied.
When a dear someone loves fishing the theme of the cards is almost a given. I was heavily inspired by Festive Friday Challenge and picked the prompts 'plaid' (Tim Holtz plaid die), 'blue' and 'monochrome' to go with the fish (fishing also happens to be one of the prompts, incidentally).
I colored the die-cut plaid in with ac ouple of blue Oxides, then mounted it on black cardstock.
The fish lie on a bed of silver thread (supposed to mimic a fishing line). I colored them in with markers and popped a drop of shiny accent for their eyes.
