Welcome
Yes, another man in the family who loves to fish!! so another 'fishy' card
The centre panel was created using an embossed and painted fish image, which is one of my oldest stamps, and used multiple times. You may recognize it as it has often featured on my cards.
I used Twinkling H2O's, to paint it, but it doesn't show here, fussy cut it out and adhered it to dark blue card. I then covered it with blue tissue paper that had come around some stamps, and I had kept it to up-cycle. The shiny bling is part of the paper! Of course I had to save it...
The panel was framed with papers, die cut with a stitched wavy edging. - The top paper has some pale clouds on it, and I heat embossed in copper part of the the sentiment (a magazine freebie)
and used a 'grass like' paper for the bottom third, where I embossed the second part of the sentiment.
The twine was one ply of some heavy string, that I separated out and wound around the panels.
The inside was decorated with some more of the 'grass' paper.

WOW Maxine that is one fishy card. I'm glad you shared the technique you used - what a great effect. So glad you shared with us at 2 Crafty Critter Crazies, CarolG
Fabulous card Maxine. Love the way you cut the card to show the centre panel, Very clever.
Sounds like the perfect card for your Brother Maxine, let's hope he's soon allowed to go fishing again as I know so many are missing their hobbies with the lockdown.
Thanks so much for joining in with our 'Men and Boy's theme at Penny Black and More challenge.

What a really cool masculine card Maxine! I love how you did the center part with the fish, it is very watery looking and it just draws the eye right in. That cloud paper is so pretty and I love the "grass" paper too. Perfect for that fisherman in one's life! Hugs, Brenda
I know he will love the personalized details!

This is outstanding, Maxine! Such a fresh and bold masculine card! I love the fish ad thought it was stamped onto the cardstock! Love that you upcycled, of course, I had a blog series planned around that (way behind, of course!) I love your brother's card - just super! Hugs!
Your brother will really love this manly fish themed card, Maxine! I love the design and that awesome fish, sky, grass, and coppery sediment! And, wow, you went the extra mile with the addition of the twine for texture and dimension! Take care and continue to keep safe! Hugs, Darnell
Really loving your image, and the blue tissue over it is a very cool effect! Love the grassy panel, looks like a textured cardstock as well. Fabulous card for your Brother!
A lovely male card Maxine - what a gorgeous image of a fish you have used. Love all the other elements you have used like the paper, tissue, string etc. They all add to the over all masculinity of this card. I also like how you always carry something forward to the inside - Lovely touch
Hugs & Blessings, Neet xx
