Surfs Up!

I combined the colors from the Embellish challenge - Nautical theme with the Wee Memories Summertime and the Lily Pad Cards Challenge to create a patriotic themed card all into one project.

I saw this cute Snorkle Tobie  at Some Odd Girl and envisioned him at the beach with the surfboards done in the patriotic colors! Some Odd Girl is the sponsor at Lily Pad this week.

The surfboards are hand drawn and created using Rocket Boy paper from October Afternoon.  The Sand is sandpaper torn along the edges.  I added a little spanish moss for texture along with the seashells from Hero Arts. The sentiment is also Hero Arts. 

This is my last week with the Lily Pad Blog Challenge.  A truly wonderful team and good friends!

Make a Wish

This week the challenge at Lily Pad Cards is a color challenge and Kathy provided us with another beautiful selection of colors!  We also have a delightful sponsor Tickled Pink Stamps.  They provided me with the super cute image in my genie bottle... I selected Lil Pinkettes August, she reminded me of my girls and their music playing all the time.

My genie is colored using copics and highlighted with the white gel pen. There is also a little shading with watercolor pencils.

The bottle is sponged with orange dye ink and stamped with Hero Arts Lace using pink ink. I highlighted the flowers with the white gel pen.

I traded her headphones out with a fancy flower so she could fit with my bottle.  I thought she was sitting so sweetly and that she would make a great genie in a bottle. The bottle is a Silhouette shape which I cut multiple times to create the acetate center and the orange tops and bottoms.

The inside of the card says "Have a magical Day!".

Here are the inspiration colors:
