This is a Tami Mayberry sketch that I found and thought it could be adapted well for a male card. Also Delicious Doodles is our sponsor and she gave the design team some great images to work with. Be sure and check out Crafty Creations to see all the DT creations.
Here is my card using the sketch and the trout image from Delicious Doodles.
I am pretty happy with how this turned out. I colored the trout using my Promarkers and Copic markers. After I was done coloring I brushed over the colors with Perfect pearls to give it a shimmer look. It looks really neat in person, almost like the shine of a real fish. I had to spray it with hair spray to seal it so the Perfect Pearl would not rub off.
Here is a closer look at the fish.
I Cuttlebugged the green panel. The happy birthday is stamp.
