This image was sent to me by wooddeboraha. I waited a while before I finally decided what to do wit this cute little fella!
So I colored Gruffie and background with Prisma pencils,layering the colors to attempt to get a realistic affect. I thought it would be nice if he had a picnic blanket to chill out on..but what to do? So I went searching for some BG paper to make his blanket. Then it was how to "put" him on it..So I cut the lower half of the image out so I could slip the blanket I made in underneath him.(I cut fringe on the blanket for a 3-D affect). I used dimensional magic for the pizza sauce and pop can,and his eyes. Then silver embossed the top of the can. Used another BG paper that had the picnic cloth look and it had cute little ants all around it, and a big hot dog in the corner(see inside of card pics)so I cut out a frame so the ants would be be seen on all sides. Used sticker letters for sentiment, and daisy's for the final touch! Daisy's and summer go together I think! The inside is going to have the card recipients name on it for fun..but dont want to blow my surprise so didnt do that part yet! This was a blast to make.I wish you could see the 3-D affect more! Enjoy and Thanks for looking!

You always know it's summer with the ant arrival! Darling image from Deb, and your coloring is just a knock out, girl! Love the checked tableclothe - how fun is that? It's just a perfect card. It's fun, it's summery and it's got ants. Everything is here for some summer fun!
