I started with a base of Early Espresso and ran it through a Cb ef that looks like wood. I stamped on a piece of River Rock using EE. Used my SB ovals and cut this out. I stamped on twill ribbon and I colored and cut out the trout on a stringer. This design is a case of Pat Smethers. I even used the same stamp set. I have a lovely friend on SCS that stamped me some cool fishing stuff and I turned my room upside down looking for it to use for this challenge but you think I could find it?! NOT!
This is for the Teapot Tuesday Challenge. If you would like to join in we would love to have you. Thanks for looking at my card.

I don't think it matters that you didn't find the 'cool stuff' b/c this is fabulous! Love the image and the embossed b/g looks great w/ it. And look at those trout... this is a card that is sure to please.

Sylvia, how awesome is this! Sistah, your cuttled bg is knock out! I *love* that MAN texture, and your fab stamping on the twill. Love that rich dark brown too- my fav color! What a blessing this will be for Chip. Bless your heart. Gorgeous! LYMI

Well, in spite of not being able to find what you were looking for (and can't we all identify with that!!) you managed to create a really great masculine card, perfect for the tea-party.
