Well at least it started out simple, I was using a sticker image of a boy fishing for my great nephews card. I decided it would look better instead of just placing him on a white background to do a little inking of the background. Then I went looking for a little fish stamp I knew I had to make a border, and do you think I could find it, NO!! So I decided to draw some fishes across the strip, color them with markers. Cut the strip with scissors to give the feel of water. Then I thought it needed something off to the side and went with this dragonfly, I stamped it first onto the pattern paper so I could have the flight trail behind him and then stamped again and colored it and fussy cut it out and glued on top of the one I stamped directly on the pattern paper. I added some sparkle to the wings and the trail. Fussy cut the stamp sentiment too.

This turned out really cute! I love your fish border and dragonfly. I know, sometimes it just seems that you need more on a card and you just keep going and going. I have done that so many times!
This is so darling! I love the little fishing boy, and the fish border you drew across the bottom is fantastic!
Utterly adorable xoxo

Dang, Connie, your hand drawn fishy border is as cute as anything you could have stamped! I love the whole thing. The red DP suggests water, even though it's red. The dragonfly is perfect, too, because you always see those around the water. Such an adorable card for your great nephew!
Just adorable!
