this card is for my brother's birthday. i bet i've made him AT LEAST a dozen "best fishes" ones over the years, it's kind of a challenge to see if i can think of a new way to interpret it! in this case, i went vintage and collagey, since that was the mood i was in.
why not stop over at SOS and see what an awesome, creative, inspirational mood my fellow DT-members are in. it's always worth the trip!!! ♥
Whoa!!! Fantastic card for a guy and know he'll love this! Really like all the different paper on this.

I totally love that you keep to the same idea & change it up every year! I bet he looks forward to them almost as much as you look forward to the challenge of making it different every time. I'm particularly fond of that 'useless info' snippet, lol :D
ReplyDeleteLauren, I just love this! I am retired, but when I was working, a lot of useless information landed on my desk! :D) Create composition and wonderful execution!

ReplyDeleteI love all the layers and different kinds of "found" papers in this. There's so much to look at.
