It is time for a new challenge over at Charisma Cardz and the theme is to use something not meant for crafting.
Now I must admit, I have used quite afew things in the past not bought for crafting eg, material I have cut off the hems of curtains HERE and HERE. There are afew obvious things like buttons cut off clothes, bows cut off underwear, Cereal boxes .................................
So I had to put my thinking cap on for something else. I used some plastic fishing line and attached a fish charm. I coloured the Dr. Digi image 'Fishing Andy' with Promarkers and mounted it on X Cut die cuts.
I tied a bit of the same fishing line through the holes in the homemade sentiment.
The easel is propped against some Dufex decoupage.
And I found this fish bead and thought it would go quite well with the colours and the theme.

Hi Wendy
Clever call with the fishing theme and using the line. Got to do a card with a button in a couple of weeks and that's giving me sleepless nights hahaha!
Best wishes.
