My church group said they needed more masculine cards which are soooooo hard to do since men do not like too many embellishments. I found a really great punch but I do not know who makes it. I took it out of it's wrapping and thought it would be on the punch. Not so. Let this be an example of what not to do in advertising. The trash man came before I had a chance to retrieve it. I bought it at Michaels though. They had lots to pick from. Wish I was rich!! I used a fish from Rubbernecker for the sentiment. I felt a little mutnik like with that move. I put crystal effects on the fish and the waders for a little dimension. The card kits I made for the church group are better because I embossed the plaid bg with the stick embossing folder and it was a lot better.
Hope you like it. Comments appreciated.

Oh do I LOVE this one. We had a huge bass tournament on our lake here. Men fishing everywhere. It was fun. I love that you stamped the sentiment on the fish and what a perfect sentiment it is... Really great job. So fun. I think I have seen that punch at Mikes before. It is awesome. Great job.

Way cool punch Sis! Love the BIG fish with the perfect sentiment. Reminds me of our younger days in Hot Sulphur when someone gave us a big sucker fish and we walked proudly down the street as if we caught it ourselves. Remember that? Love your man card. Love that plaid bg. Glad to see you posting. Fantastic card. Pretty cool, we are right next to each other in the gallery! Love Ya! TFS :0)

That is a cool punch - bet you get a lot of use from it even if you don't know who made it. Looks like a great masculine card to me, and they are so not easy. I like the little brad in the sentiment fishes mouth. For some reason he reminds me a bit of the fortune-telling fish that used to come in Christmas crackers.
