Gone Fishing for Kylie's International Project Highlights

 I was trying something funky by using strips of Wild Wheat cardstock on a Mossy Meadow card base. 

Some ribbon, a layered greeting tag, and some water-colored fish finish off this card.  

I’m participating in Kylie’s monthly International Blog Highlights contest and the top 10 vote winners get to participate in an International Blog Hop. Would you consider taking a moment and voting for my card? I’d really appreciate it! My card is #16.
