I "stole" this idea (I think it's called casing) from someone and I don't remember who it was. My sister e-mailed a pic of the card and I just loved it. I cut out my own vest shape (that's why it's a little crooked) in a sagey green paper and ran it through the cuttle bug with the plaid folder. I cut out the pockets and used a corner rounder puch to sofen them. The bobber, fishhook, fish & lures are all stamped from a See d's cling set - "gone fishin" and colored with water color pencils and of course stickled withcotton candy, orange, true blue, stardust and gold stickles . The bobber and fish-shaped lure are put on with gold brads. The others are foam-dotted on. The pockets our outlined in mystic green stickles I use da black 1/2 pearl for the button. My dad is 65 this year so that had to appear somewhere. The numbers were cut out from the wildcard cricut cartridge. TFL

My dad's birthday is a couple days before Father's Day so I make two cards. I love your fisherman's vest - it is perfect, and I'm sure your dad will get a kick out of it!! :>)
What an awsome card! I am sure your dad will love it! I really like the texture and pockets. And, expert coloring on your fish! So cool that you added his age too! TFS

Totally wonderful CASE (copy and share with everyone)!
The first time I ever saw something like this was here: Sportsman's Vest by scrapbook4ever at Splitcoaststampers by scrapbook4ever and I thought it was brilliant. So much so that I CASED it, too, and I mean almost exactly. The recipient of my card was beyond thrilled. I know your dad will also totally appreciate the effort and love you put into your creation! It's super that you were able to incorporate his age into your vest, too. Neat!
