Taylored Expressions Challenge #65!

Last week you may recall that I followed the sketch...to the letter. This week I took a little "artistic license". If you scroll down and look at the sketch you see that bold strip down one side. I actually used vellum. I stamped my image both on my card stock and then on my vellum. I colored only the fisherman on the backside of my vellum and then layed the strip over top and sewed it in place.

This was simple to do, but for a "guy" card I think it was quite effective. I used a paper frill as my scalloped detail. The sentiment is from a new set called "Father's Day Centers" from CHF.

I know, quite simple and plain....but guys don't want the fluff...right?
Here are all my card deets:
