Now most people would have simply added hearts like bubble leading up from the fish's mouth - in fact lots of friends suggested that in the comments, but oh dear no I didn't think of it - no I had to go down the more complicated route of adding a fisherman who loved his fishing hobby !!
So many things went wrong along the way - too much of a sad and boring a tale to tell involving having to remove pages from the dictionary and other disasters, but in the end I ended up using a page from the front of the dictionary with the Italian word for fish and fisherman on it and then die cut the appropriate part in a heart shape to go alongside the stamped and coloured fisherman.
At one side we have the English words 'fish and fisherman' highlighted and at the other the Italian words 'un pesce et un pescatore ' in the heart.
I got there in the end even if it was a very round about route!! Next time I'm going to think my idea through more before putting stamp to paper.
Thank you to all my lovely friends who have been so kind about yesterday's efforts. I didn't read your tips till after I had stamped the fisherman!
Have a great evening.

Hahaha! Loved your tale! And so much better than a few bubbles! Congratulations on your fabulous win for Q! Best wishes, Anne O.
Ah, he's a delightful fellow. With heart. LoL. Nice save! Your fisherman and your fish stamps are really great. I was not brilliant. I did not think of the easy add heart bubbles either. But you got there in the end, and your page spread looks delightful.
A very sweet addition .
Still love the heart-shaped fish! But the additions add a little extra something!
