My husband grew up fishing with his Dad in Montreal, so I decided to make a card that would remind him of those memories. They would catch Perch, Northern, and Small Mouth Bass. But Chris's favorite fish he was only able to catch twice was a Trout. So I decided this card was going to feature the beautiful colors of a Trout
I used Flourishes "What A Catch" that I stamped out on Flourishes "Classic White Cardstock" and matterd with Kraft paper over an old My Mind's Eye patterned paper. I colored the fish image in with watercolors, then cut it out with my craft knife, and popped it up on popdots. The splashing water was colored in with Copic Sketch markers.
