Summer Pup

I'm back to share another Swap Card I created using the Summer Pup digital stamp by Bugaboo Stamps.  Since Summer officially begins this weekend, I thought it appropriate to color up this Puppy at the Beach, wearing his cool shades, equipped with his safety float and ready for a swim.  

This card measures A2 (4.25" x 5.5"), the designer papers are from the Pink & Main Summer Splash 6x6 paper pad and the focal image is colored with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.  

I die cut the image, the Palm Trees and the sentiment with dies from my stash.  I doubled up the Palm Trees and the sentiment words for a bit of dimension and colored the Palm Trees with alcohol markers as well.  

For a finishing touch, I lightly inked around the focal image with Salty Ocean Distress Ink by Ranger.  Lastly, I added some Wink of Stella to the sentiment words and placed some Card Candy to complete this fun Summer card.  Another Swap done and dusted...time to work on another!

Thanks for visiting and until next time, Happy Crafting!
