Happy Birthday

Today is the birthday of a dear friend and one of his hobbies is fishing although he hasn't gone fishing in a while. I used my oxide inks (faded jeans, broken china and tumbled glass) to do the background with life changing blender brushes and after I was happy with my background I used my cloud templates to add some texture with tumbled glass. I die cut the fish and added a white pearl as an eye, green beads for the shaker behind it was some Parkland woodgrain paper. The birthday greeting is from the think big favorite mini set by Papertrey Ink with VersaFine Clair nocturne, the bottom cattails were stamped with mossy meadow ink and is Stampscapes
