I loved that she watercolored the sea around the seahorse and her lovely border and colors. I actually thought I was doing that same white border, but I over estimated the size and then messed up my sponging soooooo my fun little donkey got cut down. Looking back I should have done the donkey in Eeyore colors as we all know how much Dina loves Pooh. I skipped her rubbing alcohol splatter/spray and did a brown watercolor splatter at different stages of drying. I drew my image, but stamped the sentiment.
Congrats sweet Dina! Enjoy your week!
PS - inside it says "With Courage and Lots of Caffeine."

Fabulous! Your drawing abilities are superb, color/shading, and design are all fantastic. Love how you colored the BG, the woodgrain EF, and the headline are perfect...

Well, if that guy doesn't start your day with a smile (even without the caffeine) then you are just as grumpy as Eeyore. Fabulous drawing, as always, and such a fun card inside and out. Your sponging and splattering may have been cut down a bit, but the size looks great with how you have layered and showcase it. Awesome CASE and an awesome card. Hugs.
Nancy, this is a great case of Dina's card. It has become perfectly clear that you really don't need stamped images. Your sketches are wonderful. Your donkey is so precious and I love the background you created for him.
