Father's Day = Fishing Day

      It's Friday and another new challenge is starting over at Crafty Catz, where our theme is always Anything Goes.  However, if you care to challenge yourself, we also offer an OPTIONAL theme each week and this week it's "Cute for a Guy."  We're sponsored by Polkadoodles and they provided image for the DT to use on their inspiration cards.  I chose "Gnome Gone Fishing" and used it for a Father's Day card since Father's Day is just around the corner.

     I used water color paints to color the image and then cut it with a QuicKutz die.  The background was made with bits of left over paper from the scrap basket.  I tied a bow with two different scraps of twine and called it finished.  


     Challenges:
Double Trouble (+ fishing, blue, & die cut)
     
     We'd love to see you playing along in our challenge this week.  Come on by!  Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie

Wonderful card, Connie! I have three brothers who love to fish so this brings forth such fond memories. Love the dragonflies, too. Thank you for joining us at Double Trouble Challenge #139. — Melanie R.
