Welcome to September! Can you believe that nearly 3/4 of the year is gone already? Since it's the first of a month, we're starting a new challenge over at 2 Crafty Critter Crazies and, as usual, our theme is "Anything Goes with a Critter." Just feature a creature on your project and it qualifies for entry.
Ike's Art is sponsoring us this month and she supplied the images all the DT used. Be sure to check out the 2CCC blog to see all of them. I chose this magnificent whale and used it for a masculine birthday card.
I colored the whale with ProMarkers and water colors, then cut the image with a die from Gina Marie. I inked the edges with black ink.
The background is done with papers from a DCWV scrapbook stash, cut to size for the card. I enhanced the faux stitching around the swirl with white gel ink. I added the ribbon bow and a few sequins and left it alone.
The sentiment is inside and it says, "Have a Whale of a Birthday."
Challenges:
CARDZ TV
Cookie Challenge
Crafty Friends

Fussy and Fancy Fri
Ike's World
Outlawz Twisted Thurs
Pammie's Inky Pinkies
Pause Dream Enjoy
Polkadoodles
Enjoy your weekend and Happy Crafting. NanaConnie
