This week our destination is Harrisburg, Illinois. If you would like a destination for your cards this week, how about sending them to Tig. Tig is the husband of fellow SCSer/Teapotter Shirley (Wannabecrea8tive). He likes fishing so I put this card together for him.
No stamps were used. The main image is a free image I found online and colored and cut out. The background is an image I found online, and printed. Used jute for ribbon, and a little yellow embroidery floss and an America embellishment was hot glued onto it.

I love the look of this! Your image coming out of the frame superimposed on that pretty sunset on the water photo is great. I like how the fishing line looks like it is even going into the water.
I think I need to figure out how to transform some of the bottle caps I saved too. That looks so cool!

Wow! Look at you..making this awesome awesome card without stamping! I love it! i love that you added some good ole patriotism to the card as well......I have heard sunset is the best time to fish, or maybe its sun-up.....anyway I am sure Big Brown is on that hook because the timing is right!

Love the 'out of the box' look and that awesome sunrise background - they say the fish are biting the best in that hour - or at sunset - I think, so I bet he have Big Brown on the hook, for sure! AHHHH, Fishing, a national treasure!
