One of my coworkers wanted me to make a card for her friend's twins birthday, no peeking Cheryl This is for her son, not sure what to do for her daughter yet...
I always had this background in my head for this adorable little guy and when I saw the ultimate card by #1artist4highhopes, I knew I was on the right track.
The bg is stamped 3 times; on white, cool caribbean and creamy carmel. I then pieced them together. The clouds were cut out, raised and then used liquid applique on them. Colored the lobster guy with prisma pencils and gamsol and he and the crate are raised. The front lobster is also raised. Used crystal lacquer on his hat, coat and the lobsters. The sailboats are a PSX stamp and were cut and used glitter on the sails. The seagulls are from a SU set.
TFL!!

Holy Moly, girl, this is just wonderful. I always admire crissy's work, and there's no one better qualified than you to case one of her cards. This is so life like with the beach and water. Dianne, you are just an artist waiting to happen! Your co-worker is one lucky lady to have an in-house designer at her personal disposal!
