Can you tell that my visits to the beaches this summer are influencing my crafting? Yes, it's true but in this case, the fish image came from the Progressive Challenge at The Outlawz and it's by Tangle Street. Not that I didn't jump in right away to use it. :-D
I printed the angel fish three times, in different sizes, with one of them reversed. They're all colored with ProMarkers and then fussy cut. I used a blue card base because it was a perfect color to represent water.
I got the sheer, sparkly ribbon out of my stash, wrapped it around the card front and tied it into a square knot. Then I mounted the fish using Pop Dots. The final touch was the printed sentiment. Clean, simple, masculine, and easy to mail. One more birthday card for my stash.

That's all I have for today. I may even venture outside today since the weather predictors are saying that we're going to have a wonderful "cool down" on our temperatures. They don't expect it to get above 99F !! And if tomorrow only gets to 98F (as predicted), then we will have ended our 3rd heat wave of the summer which only ran for 18 consecutive days this time. The record setter was in June when we had a 19 day heat wave, the longest in recorded history for our area.
And you were wondering why I've been either gone or hiding out so much this summer? lol

I was inspired by the colors I found at Sugar Pea Designs.
