Here I am sharing one card to two challenges - the opportunity only just presented itself after reading my friend Bobby's post announcing that Time Out #260 is looking for stripes! I hope this doesn't smell fishy... it was created for Freshly Made Sketches #629!
My card features that darling Fintastic set from The Stamp Market...
I don't know what it is about that guy that screams poisson [fish in French] but a striped 'shirt', beret, and kerchief suddenly seemed fitting!
My little hook is from my HoneyBee Rod & Reel set but the bait was right
there in that TSM set.
Okay... how about the stripes, you ask?
I have embossed dots in stripes, and the lower portion of my panel is
embossed in stripes... you may see them better here...
Then there is his shirt - and EVEN scalloped stripes on his tailfin!
I think it works!
Your visits sure do help to overcome this cold Spring weather we're experiencing - keep them coming please - and merci, Bobby!

ReplyDeleteI see all of the stripes scattered among all of the cuteness! I hope that cold you mentioned is of the weather kind and not the sniffly kind... if not feel better!

ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable french boy, well handsome! His attire is definitely on point and so are all your stripes -- adorable!

ReplyDeleteSo here I am wondering if this fish is French or is in jail? Either way I adore this card and it totally made me laugh out loud!!

ReplyDeleteOh, that fish in his beret and kerchief... I love him! You know he's a pretty good mime, too, but not as annoying. Crisp and cute, perfect for the two challenges. I also love your perfect little quilting thread bow!
ReplyDeleteOh My Goodness....J'aime beaucoup. This lil french poisson is so freaking adorable. And look at you...scalloped stripes...that is brain power.
