I have been very busy with my sick puppy this week .....so far 4 nights this week he has had the runs all night. I took him to the vet on Tuesday for medicine and he seemed pretty good yesterday....than last night he was sick all over again. So today he is getting more meds from the vet...hopefully this will work. As you can guess though...not much cardmaking going on this week....I am too sleep deprived. Now I am also having to do a major cleaning job as well....poor little guy rarely makes it to the door.....and he feels so bad when he makes a mess.
On to the card recipe..
I think this little dancer is just the cutest....gotta love that little belly stickin' out there. If I ever go to Hawaii....lol....I think I'm going to fit right in there...
I used the SC171 sketch... and the CC171...(real red, glorious green and night of navy) Both challenges are Great and Fun to use!
All the stamps from High Hopes...."Leilani", "Palm Tree", "Gardenia" and "Aloha"......
I used prismacolor pencils(oms) and H20's for coloring. The background paper is stamped in with the "Palm Tree" Gardenias...were colored, stickled, cut-out and popped up. Corners are made with cuttle bug dies...partially cut off. Aloha is embossed with sparkling red by Ranger. The oval was made with nesties...but the scallop layer was made with a scissors. Is everyone getting sick of my fibres yet?...I'm trying not to use them so much ....but they just worked too well here.
Stamps: All High Hopes
Paper: whisper white, provo craft slab5, night of navy
Ink: Stazon black, bashful blue, close to cocoa, garden green
Accessories: stickles, cuttle bug, fibre, stitching,, foam dimensionals, embossing pdr.
Thanks for looking everyone and your Wonderful comments!! ** Blog candy is in the wind again soon** My Birthday is coming up May 6th.....time to celebrate!!
