You're SUN-sational - SSSC162

Hi all! And a Very Happy Thursday to you!  Thought I would sneak in a super quick post to share my latest  creation! I've been attempting to work ahead as much as possible So I can have a few days off to have some fun with my Darling Hubby! We are going to see Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw this Saturday and then to the Sawdust festival on Sunday! Yay! Can't wait! 8-)  Anyway, among all the projects I've been working on, I thought I'd  squeeze in at least one project that was just for fun!  And just cause I Love Miss Karen's Sketch challenges Hee Hee, I had to play along with Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #162! I just chose to flip mine around to accommodate the Beachy Vibe of my Sweet Whimsie Doodle Image.. 8-)

I printed out my Adorable Whimsie Doodles Sunsational Rodney onto Flourishes Classic White and colored him up with my trusty Copics. I cut him out with the help of my Classic Circles Large and Small Nesties sets and popped him up with a bit of foam tape. My Big fluffy clouds were created with my favorite cloud template, Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and a small stenciling brush while the die was still in place.

For my mats and BG layers, I chose a combination of kraft CS from my stash and some Fun Summery dp's from Echo Parks Paradise Beach collection. To finish it all up I added some layered waves created with my TE Wave Border Die, a few die cut clouds created with TE's Cloud Duo Dies that were embossed with TE's Waves and Bubbles Impression Plate and lastly a Cheery little Sun created with the help of my Cricut and the Life's a Beach cartridge... 8-)



Here's Miss Karen's Awesome Sketch:

Hope you all have a Wonderful day & thanks so much for dropping by! 8-)

Thanks for stopping by!
