I printed out my Darling Whimsie Doodles Birthday Turtle image onto Flourishes Classic White and colored him up with my trusty Copics. I cut him out with the help of my PTI Mat Stack 3 Die and popped him up with foam tape. My Big fluffy clouds were created with my favorite cloud template, Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and a small stenciling brush. All my mats and BG pieces were created with a combination of kraft CS from my stash and various dp's from MME's Lime Twist Fly a Kite collection. To finish it all up I cut out my layered sentiment banner by hand, added a fun MS punched border and some Cute polkadot ribbon from my stash..8-)
Here's Karen's Awesome Sketch:
Hope you all have a Super day & thanks so much for dropping by! 8-)
