Fishtastic!!!!!

I know Father's Day is a ways away but I couldn't help making this card, I was itching to colour this image and well........This happened.  Giggle!  I coloured the Art Impression image with Prisma crayons and used Tim Holtz Wild Honey Distress ink by Ranger for the sun.  The Sun and sentiment dies are spellbinder and the net, fishing rod, hooks worm and fish were cut with Fantasy dies.  The boat, oars and tie post  inside the card were cut with dies from Cherry Lynn Designs, B649 Fishing Boat Set.   

The sentiments and the boat, oars and posts were distressed with Tim Holts Pine Needles and Gathered Twigs distress ink by Ranger.  The paper is from my stash, sorry I don't know what collection as I scooped it from a friend.  He he he.  The card is made with White Bazzil Card stock and Green Bazzil Card Stock; which was embossed with a cat tail folder from Sizzix.  The Cat tails were lightly distressed with Tim Holtz Black Soot Distress ink by Ranger.

I have entered this card into the following challenges:
