My Son-in-law is an avid fly fisherman and every year I try to make him a card that reflects this. Several weeks? / months? ago the Weekly Inkling featured a tutorial on making a fishing vest .
I cut my cardstock according to the tutorial then sponged all the edges with peeled paint
The fishing stamps I own were much too large so downloaded some digis that could be resized to fit my vest, colored with prsimacolor pencils and fussy cut all the images. I added jump rings to some of the lures to attach them to the pockets . . my card kept popping open so I also added 2 eyelets and some baker's twine to tie it all shut.
Inside sentiment says: Early to bed, Early to rise, Fish all day, Make up lies.

What a fabulous fishing vest! I need to make one of these for a friend of mine. Thanks for the tip about downloading digis because I don't really have any fishing stamps. Love this vest!
