Pelicans and the shore just go together for me, and they always remind me of beach vacations. You may have already noticed that this is the second pelican image I've used this week. :-D
We have a new challenge starting today at QKR Stampede and our theme is "Day at the Beach."
I used this image and this sentiment from QKR: Digi 18511 "Happy Pelican" and Digi 15103 "Ruffle Feathers".
The image is colored with my ProMarkers, then die cut with a die from Spellbinders. Another larger die from that same set was used to cut the mat piece. I used the smallest die from that set to cut the sentiment but I had to adjust it, cutting the top first and then sliding the die up to cut the bottom because it was larger than I wanted. I used the same blue CS (but hand cut it) to mat the sentiment. The small blue bow was hand tied. Everything went onto brown CS embossed with my "Linen" folder and then onto the card front.

See you there. Happy Stamping NanaConnie
