What fun colors today! I don't have the exact colors, so I used my Copics to hopefully come close.
The images are from DRS Designs and after stamping, I used the Copics to color everything. I die cut the main image, drew around the same die on black and hand cut that layer. It looked a little lonely against all the white, so I put it back on top of the layer I cut it out of and I liked it a lot better The greeting is stamped directly on the 5.50 x 4.25 card front and I used a white gel pen to add some accents.
Thanks so much for looking! I'll have it on my blog in just a bit: The Write Stuff

Great card and fantastic creation! Love how you did your layers of colour. Very, very effective. I agree with the previous post....that fish does look like it is real.

Wow and double-WOW! That is some amazing colouring work you did. You really captured the colour of the salmon perfectly, with the coral belly. Beautiful card!

Whatever you did that you didn't like, I'm not sure but this looks amazing! Your colors are so vibrant and gorgeous, Julie! Your fish and pole are perfect; looks 3-D to me~

Julie,
Your card is so gorgeous - and the coloring perfect. My DH was strolling by and this caught his eye - as he is a fisherman - and he loved your card too!
