Catch a little fishy - DT card for Milkcoffee

Hi all,

Well after a wet start this morning, the sun is now shining here not sure how long it will last though!!

Today sees a new challenge over at Milkcoffee Challenge and as we are on the countdown to the start of the Olympics, this week our theme is

Sports

So we would like to see any kind of sporting creations on your card, remember you dont have to use a MC image but we always love it when you do.

Now I am not into any kind of sport at all. I have to say I hate it with a passion, I would much rather sit comfortably and read a nice book than get all hot and sweaty running about - so I wont be bothered with the Olympics at all (sorry!!). Now hubby on the other hand is mad about football (well don't even get me started on that - bloomin being paid loads of money for running about kicking a ball!!!!) and will watch any match going, but at least it gives me peace to craft when he is occupied. 

So for my card I used the fabulous Lets Go Fishing which is available with lots of other fab designs in the Milkcoffee Store. Reason being - in my head fishing is a much more relaxing kind of sport and I could imagine myself sitting on the bank of a river, enjoying a good book whilst hubby did a spot of fishing lol!!!!.




Anyway whilst sorting through my papers, I found these fabulous fishy one's from the Male Smirk range from Trimcraft and thought they were just perfect. I used a bit of cheesecloth as my net, and a bit of twine to look like a fishing line lol!!. I finished off by cutting out and decoupaging some of the little fish and 'Gone Fishing' sign.

Please do pop by the challenge blog, check out my team mates creations and join in with the challenge yourself. You never know you could be the winner of 3 Digi's of your choice.

Thanks for popping by my blog today, will be back tomorrow with my DT card for Cardmadfairy.
