DTGD13lisahenke - BEACH 1 MILE

Hey there, I'm thrilled to be participating this year in Splitcoaststampers 8th Annual Dare to Get Dirty challenges!  DTGD is our way of saying thanks to the most amazing Fan Club members ever!  So what's this about, you ask?  Easy...it's all about you, silly!  Our Dirty Dozen Designers, both past and present, have gotten together and planned a super fun week for you!  Besides the stamping end of it, the girls will be hanging out in the chat threads waiting to dish the dirt!  Yep...if you've ever wondered how someone does something, ask away...we'd love to share our dirty little secrets with you!  Everyone will be able to see our DTGD projects, but only the Fan Club members will be able to see what the specific challenge details are or participate in the challenges!  Come join in the fun!  Not a member but want to be?  Not a problem...join here!  Ooohhhh...and did I mention prizes?  I thought that might have gotten your attention!  *grin*  Click here for more info!

I'm back with a card for Lisa's (lisahenke) challenge.  I've been wanting to color Ivan, from Whipper Snapper Designs, since the Dog Days of Summer VSN (Virtual Stamp Night also through SCS).  He would have been perfect for a couple of those challenges...and since he was still sitting on my desk, I decided to ink him up!  I think someone must have told Ivan to follow the marked path to get to the beach...I just love that expression on his face!  *grin*  

Ivan was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah card stock then colored with my fav...Copic markers!  The ball and frog's eyes both have Sakura Clear Glaze on them for a nice, subtle shine.  The sentiment was computer generated, die cut, colored with Copic markers then popped up on foam (only on the pointy side...the wider side was adhered to the card front).  The background clouds were made with a die cut cloud template and my Copic Airbrush System...and a couple Copic colored, die cut clouds complete the card!

Seeing Ivan on his way to the beach makes me think I should go more often.  Only thing is, Oregon's beaches are usually c-c-c-o-l-d!  I'll be back again tomorrow with a couple more DTGD projects...see ya then!
