Gullible Gill met up with some of the Silver Fin Gang who were feeling charitable and decided to swim along with Gill to keep him away from all the hooks, lines and sinkers. But, alas, they couldn't keep him from jumping into Cindy's waiting basket! Poor Gill!
My background is the Polished Stone Technique from a tutorial that StampingQueenJar has on her blog:
The silver sequin fish (leaves) along the bottom really are silver but the light made them odd colors-sorry about the photo-couldn't get a good shot this morning.
Will send this card to Dante and another to his younger sister Julia, who donated bone marrow!

What a bring and colorful card. Being a jewelry designer/maker I will tell you that silver is the hardest to photograph . . . picks up all the other colors around it. Loving your watery background paper.

Love your hook and twine in the corner! Dante will want to get well soon for sure with all the wonderful cards he will be getting. Bet the first thing he does is what else? Go fishing!
