This is for several challenges...Sketch (SC597), Color (CC587), Technique (TLC590), & (CAS381). And it's also for my dad, who has a super sense of humor. Since he lives in Texas where they've had about a ton of rain, this is how I imagine he'd be kickin' back, ridin' it out, if he didn't already live on the high side of the street, lol.
I printed out this cute image onto Hammermill digital card stock. I haven't worked a lot w/ digis so it was a bit of trial & error until I got the size about right. Then it was die cut & I left the die in place when I colored it w/ Copics & sponged in my cloudy sky. The little seagulls were stamped & a life saver added in the corner. The rest of the card is per the sketch & the top white section was also sponged w/ a little cloud stencil I made w/ scallop scissors.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups, the inside & Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Great card. I like your take on the sketch with the curved line. The image is so funny; your dad will enjoy it. I like the life preserver. Excellent job with all the challenges. TFS
