Catch of the Day...A Whopper!

At There's  Magic In The Air, Jessie  brings us a challenge  to use the sketch (lower right) as well as the image "Catch of the Day" (free this week here) from Paper Cupcakes.  So off I went fishing for paper, embellishments, sentiments, and ideas and came up catching the biggest fish that I could. 
I colored the image with pencils and OMS, cut with nesties circle and matted on a scallop circle.  I have had these fish buttons forever and thought this would be a great card to use one. I also ran some heavy thread  on the pole to add some dimension and interest but it hardly shows in the photo. Added a dragonfly brad....always see those when you go fishing. Added a digital sentiment from Creative Cottage, their June Freebie here. I printed the sentiment, punched out with a circle punch and sponged orange. I assembled the card elements following the sketch layout and hung the fish button from the line over the actual fish that was there. I should get a prize for bringing in such a big fish on my card. Ha!!

The only fish I've caught lately was in the supermarket but I love fresh fish just caught. Would love to have a old fashion fish fry with hushpuppies and all the trimmings. Making me hungry.
