Best Catch

This is the card we made at my table at Stamp Camp North today.  As you can see, I'm kind of over my "girly-girl" stage for the time being.  This is a more manly card with rich, bold colors and no bows or butterflies!  😁

 Thanks to Lynn Starzl for the basic design of this card.  Lynn's card also featured the large jumping fish, but since I was doing this card in a stamp camp I opted to use just the smaller fish dies so it could be made quickly.  Click HERE to view the original card on Lynn's blog.
