Something fishy

I can't remember how I came by these nice fish buttons, but they were perfect for a true fisherman's card.

Simple is the usual choice of design for male cards, and I followed the suit. I tied pieces of green embroidery floss through the button holes and glued the buttons on a green-speckled tag. I mounted the first tag onto a dark green bigger tag, fixed an eyelet through both of the tags and tied a piece of hessian yarn through it. I fixed the tags on the textured card blank and stamped the greeting below it with olive green Fluid Chalk. The recipient obviously liked the card as it ended up as a bookmark...
