Surf's Up

I was so excited Sunday afternoon when I received a comment on my Life's A Beach card over at PCP from Susanna Boyd telling me that they'd be featuring it in this week's (6/29) newsletter! Wahoo-ey!!!

Nothing like getting recognized to make you want to give it another whirl, so here's my take on this week's sketch:

I've had this little surfer dude for the longest time along with his hula girl buddy. I think I've only inked him up once (and never inked up hula girl)! A bit of inspiration from Gina, from my SCS blogger group, has me wanting to use the goodies that I have in my craft room. Boy, I'm sure glad I am.

I love the way this little surfer guy turned out.


I paper pieced his trucks and popped him up with dimensionals with two circles (cut with my Nestabilities) behind him. I hand cut three surfboards from DP (DCWV Fun in the Sun matstack) to mount on the three vertical panels. I just love the combo of these three papers!!




I used rub-on letters (Creating Keepsakes) to add the sentiment to the card.
