This card is for my uncle who flew me in his helicopter to our fishing destination this fall. While he was flying up the canyon, he pointed out a spot where he had flown in another fisherman. My uncle landed the helicopter and walked back to the fisherman. When he was almost to the man, he saw (and SMELLED!) a dead sheep and wondered why the man hadn't moved downstream before he started fishing. When the fisherman saw my uncle, he asked him, "Do you smell something?!" My uncle said, "Yeah, it's that dead sheep right here!" My uncle was cracking up about it, and I thought it would be fun to create a little scene in memory of that incident to thank him for the helicopter ride.
I used Anna Wight's Fishing Chicken from Whipper Snapper and the funny sheep from Walk This Way (Stampin' Up!). The cattails are from the retired SU! Fishin' set.
Thanks for lookin'!
