Okay, I have to tell you, when I first saw this new Hunting Riley from Riley and Company, I thought what the heck am I going to do with him! And why would Riley hunt on vacation!!!
Which was also my reaction when I first saw commercials for the TV show Swamp People...who the heck would watch that!!! well guess what I do! lol It's actually quite interesting, the hunters have 30 days to hunt alligators, and they catch alot! So if you watch the show, that was my inspiration, look out Troy...Riley's in town!
I coloured Hunting Riley with copics & cut him out. Then I created the scene.
The top background piece is dp from Bo Bunny zoology.
The waves were made with a Fiskars edge punch. I sponged them with the matching blue colours & then with soft suede because swamp water isn't really very blue! lol
The crocodile was made with punches, a tag punch for his head, and circles from the owl punch for his eyes & nose. I had cut the mouth and sharp teeth. I wanted him to look a little more authentic so I embossed him with the tiny mosaic EF and then rubbed some versamark on him and heat embossed with clear EP.
I checked out the Swamp People website and they have a T-shirt for sale that says 'Got Gator?' so I used that as a sentiment!
Sounds crazy, but this ended up being one of my favorite cards! lol
All the new Riley's will be released during the Blog Hop Thursday July 28th at 10 pm est!
