Keep on Swimming

I love Lawn Fawn. Their images are so stinkin' adorable that I can't help myself. Recently one of our kitty cats, Calvin, had to have dental surgery. It was rough because his immune system attacked his teeth. They only left the canine teeth (the fang ones). And he's had antibiotics and probiotics twice a day for weeks. He's so much better now and he isn't in pain anymore. I won't go into the cost because that part was just as frightening as the surgery. 😅💸💸💸

Here is a simple CAS thank you card for our vet. I put a thank you sentiment on it but didn't get that picture. Using a shimmer pen all over the water and fish gives it some sparkle. Inside there is a clam shell with a pearl in it, a puffer fish and some other sweet die cuts I colored using Copics..Calvin is a gray and white tabby. This scene reminds me that Calvin is better and back on duty watching the fish 🐱🐡🦪

The base is embossed with a beautiful flower design by GKD and an old diagonal stripe folder that I can't recall who made it.

Aloha,

What outdoorsy kind of people wouldn't enjoy a tactile feeling fishing card? I used oxide inks for the distress, aged look on most of the die cuts. Metallic foil cardstock is great for hardware on the tackle box and the reel of the fishing pole and fish hook. I added gold metallic paste and gold perfect pearl powder to the fish. There's plain cord that ties the bundle of caught fish. And adding some shimmer pen to fish and other parts adds gentle sheen.
