I came across this shiny green paper when I was going through my supplies a few weeks ago. Wasn't sure I wanted to do anything with it and considered getting rid of it. I'm glad I decided to keep it. Turns out, it went rather well with this week's card. This is a case from a magazine page of a few years back.
The fish is from a retired set, Nature Prints. The base of the card is Pumpkin Pie and the scaly looking paper is actually quite green and very fragile. I made the hooks with 25 gauge silver wire using jewelry pliers. To apply "the hooks" to the paper I put a bit of Crystal Effects on a piece of scrap paper and just rolled the wire in it. It's holding up amazingly well.
For Frankii fans here he is playing with his girlfriend Dolly.
They have such a good time together. Just the mention of her name sends his heart all a flutter.
A La Prochaine!

Great fish card. This may be one for me to case for my craft shows in cottage country. Thanks for sharing. Love the hooks.
What a clever idea to make your own hooks to go with the card! Crystal Effects, I have learned, will hold just about anything as long as it makes contact until it dries. Best wishes to Frankii and his new love, Dolly. :-)
What a GREAT Manly Card. I love the colors also. Keep up the clever designs.

I remember that set! Great card :)
