Beach bears

     It's definitely beach weather time....if you can take the extreme heat.

     For this card I've used several stamps from the recent Happy Trails release from Purple Onion Designs.  

     The sky was created by adding Distress ink to a craft sheet, spraying it with water and dragging the piece of watercolor paper through it.  The sand was stamped and colored with Distress inks.

Copics Used:

bear E31, E35, R30

mouse W1, W3, W5, R20, R30

umbrella BG72, Y32, YR21, N1, N3

coconut tree YG91, YG93, YG95, YG97, E21, E23, E25, E71, E74, E79

     All the images were fussy cut after stamping.  I tried for a little 3-D effect on the umbrella, bears, and palm tree by layering with some foam tape.

Have a blessed day!

Happy birthday!

     Today's kind of a special day.  It's my birthday AND it's Art Impressions birthday too.  Wish I could say we were the same age but that would be a big fib.  LOL  

     I'll be celebrating quietly today with a nice family dinner tonight but AI is pulling out the stops with a wonderful anniversary sale.  There's no way you won't find something you like in their store, especially if you have a big funny bone.

     Nothin' like a group of friends to share the fun with.

     I didn't list my Copics.  Used TOO many in the coloring box to keep up with.
     Have a blessed day!

Party goat

     Things have finally slowed down enough that I have been able to make a few cards.  This one was made quite a while ago but I'm posting now to coordinate with the release of this set in the Art Impressions store.  AI usually allows their retail sellers to sell the sets first and then they put them in their own store for sale.  Several farm sets are now available at AI like those crazy chickens and this fun Old Goat set.
