The images are colored with prismacolor pencils (oms) and twinkling h20's to shade. Acrylic white paint for accents.

Pat, clouds, sentiment and the whole nestie panel is popped up.

I stamped the censored sign ...masked it...and stamped over with the fire hydrant.

The background is simply a dry brush of bashful blue ink and olive green ink......a few grassy details added with a marker. You can see my background tutorial right here

The clouds have shimmerz paint on them....this is the first time I have used this product..very nice!!

He's a Sweetie!!

I used prismacolor pencils (oms) and twinkling h20's to color the images.

The owl, branch and sentiments are all popped up on foam dots.

There is lace along both sides of the panel behind the piggy ....also a paper doily....and lace across the bottom of the card and in the ribbon blossom.

I made another ribbon type blossom adding this cute green button I found in my stash....I was happy to see it kind of matches the button on his shirt...in shape anyway.
