Birthday card for my Godfather

My Godfather turned 86 on February 1st, but due to the pandemic and all of the restrictions we couldn't go visit, but a card is always allowed, so at least he got that. When he was younger he often went fishing on the weekends and sometimes I went with him, and since I had some paper in my stash with fish on it, I thought it was perfect for him. On the picture some of the paper look brown, but in real life it is actually more of an olive green, that was just very hard to capture.

Distress ink - Faded jeans
