Welcome
As many of you know I make quite a lot of fish themed cards over the year, so here is another one..

I sprayed the blue base of the card with Lindy's Hydrangea Blue through a diamond stencil, to mimic a fishing net. I then doodled with a silver pen around the edges

My trusty fish stamp was stamped in blue ink and clear embossed on a pearlescent panel, which was cut with an oval die and doodled around.
The sentiment was computer generated, and I sketched around it with a blue 'sparkle' pen

Turns out I forgot to take photos of the inside, so that's it for this post - short and sweet

(Fishing is a summer sport - the fish stamps must be close on 20yrs old)

Beautiful card, love the shining and the background! Fun sentiment, love the pun!
Maxine, your fish card looks fabulous - and doesn't smell the least bit fishy. I love it!
Looks great in the tone on tone colours Maxine and a fun hint as well with the sentiment.

Fun design and the subtle netting background is perfect. Thanks for sharing at Word Art Wednesday this week! Take Care!
Really lovely, and such a thoughtful design! Hubby has already taken two fishing trips this year for his summer fun, so you are spot on there, lol. Thanks so much for playing at Retro Rubber!
What a clever way to do the background and I love your doodled frames. Great card xx
That background is so beautiful and the fish in just blue ink looks great! Hugs, Gerrina

So pretty and I love the background! Makes me wish I was out fishing somewhere - although it's a tab bit hot today.....would still be fun!

Awesome Maxine. Lovely background.
You do great fish cards Maxine and I am loving this one! I love how you sprayed your spray through a stencil, it really does mimic a fishing net. Love that fish and love all your doodles. I also love how you did your computer printed sentiment! Hugs, Brenda

It's that fish again - he looks absolutely gorgeous in his oval on this beautiful blue card.
I can well imagine the inside was beautiful too.
