Yay, finally joining in with a teaparty, it has been a while!! This week's teaparty is for Joe, the stepfather of Carmen (Salome000) and the challenge is a fishing theme.
I only have a stamp of a boy fishing so downloaded this lovely image from the internet. I love the texture of the bg handmade paper, which a friend gave to me, and I tied together 4 strands of hemp twine and added the feather and sentiment. I used a distressing tool to rough up the edges of the handmade paper.
TFL!
