Anonymous, thank you for your comment on my card. I really appreciate it and glad you liked the fish colouring. Took me a while to get it right.
Hey Sheri, thanks for stopping by! You know me I love doing masculine cards and this one was a great sketch and fun to do.

Thanks Dena J, for your wonderful comment. Glad you liked the fish and the combination of cardstocks inside and out. Fun card to make and I love those arches!
A big thanks to the Design Team at Atlantic Hearts for choosing my card as one of the Top Three for this Sketch. That really made my day! Appreciate your great sketches and what a great design team you all are!
I really like this card. The baseball hat is a nice touch; the colour you chose. goes so well with the rest of the card. The fish is expertly coloured. The leaping fish adds action to the card, and the burlap is the perfect finishing touch.
