Julia (Artystamper# is the Queen this week, and she is a total doll #sweet, sweet, sweet#). I loved the CAS look of her card showcasing her sentiment so I tried to bring that look to this card as well.
The Our Daily Bread challenge this week was to use paper piercing. I did a line of piercing inside my ODBD stamped tag and also with the part of my sewing that has no thread (that is what happens when you try to sew with a $13 sewing machine - no Pamzi, Benzi did not send it to me).
The Twisted Sisters Challenge for the week was issued by IrishGreenSue and she had us do emboss resist and include green, blue and orange. I cheated big time on this one as only my little tag is emboss resisted and it is sad, sad, sad. There is orange and green on my fishing pole (I promise Sue).
The CAS challenge this week is to use tags - that is my tag hanging from the fishing pole.
PT - 1 measly punch

Again, Nancy, look at this fantastic array of creativity. That's what I always love about your cards. The theme related details are spot on and the sentiment wonderful. It's always a good day when there's a new Nutzi card in zee gallery. Hope you are doing okay. At least you're getting time to punch! Bye again Sissy!

The fishing theme and the sentiment are great together. This is a cute card. I did strain my eyeballs trying to see that emboss resist though - I'm just sayin'!

Ha.......thanks for letting Pamzi get the facts straight before she chimed in...we all know what it could be. Oops, I looked and she is trying to be good, I suppose. :!::!::confused:
Just the same, your card is super and that sentiment is just beautiful. Good staging.

Oh, SAH-WEET, Sister!!
You captured all those challenges in a CLASS ACT CARD!! Great sentiment to go with this fishing theme from the ODBD set - love the stamp and nestie cut out look there - very masculine!!
Got out my magnifying glass, LOL, to see the embossing resist, and I DID see the orange and green on the fishing pole and fishie!! Love the sewing - both with and without thread - COOL LOOKING!!
Glad you had some time to play in an unstressed week, which you MORE than deserve after last week. Please take it easy and relax this week, and frolic around in your stamp room!! BIG HUGS!! LYMI

Such a pretty card. Absolutely LOVE that pole! Sorry about the $13 sewing machine thingie...been there done that, but I guess that it is good for paper piercing, LOL. Great manly card and rocks all of those challenges. (Yes, Sue - even the Sistah challenge!)

This is so cute. What a fun card. I especially love that fishing pole with the little fish tag hanging off the end of it. How cute and adorable this is. Nice earthy tones too. Beautifully done!
