Happy Dad's Day - SFYTT May, 2012

Hi all! And a Very Happy Thursday to you! Hope you have all been having a Super week! Mine's been pretty good, a bit busy, but all and all pretty good! 8-)  Today I thought I would share with you my latest creation inspired by Jen's Fabulous Sketch For You To Try for the month of May.. I know, I know, lol I sure waited long enough, huh?... 8-) lol, I'm getting this one in just under the wire! 8-)
I printed out my Darling Whimsie Doodle's Turtle Pile image onto Flourishes Classic White and colored them up with my trusty Copics. I cut them out and scored the edges with the help of my Score Pal for a nice clean look and popped my Sweet Turtle family up with a bit of foam tape. For my mats and BG layers, I chose a combination of brown CS from my stash and some Fabulous dp's from MME's Lost and Found Breeze collection. And to finish it all up I added a few fun little buttons threaded up with bit with natural hemp twine. Wanted to keep it pretty simple as less is always more when doing a guy type card...8-)

Here's Miss Jen's Awesome Sketch:

Hope you all have a Fantastic Day & thanks so much for dropping by! 8-)
Thanks for stopping by!

  16. I should take the time to write this more often. Shannon, I ALWAYS admire the way you color with Copics. I think you do a better job than anyone else I've seen use them. I can always see the shading look that you wanted to achieve. Just had to tell you...and this card is adorable.
