I made this card using the SC170 sketch...(love those sketches).
This cute alligator's name is "Samson"...and the sentiment "You Crock Me Up" is a perfect match for him.....Both stamps are from High Hopes new Jungle release.
This rocks, love the colors/DP's, the distressing and your usual fabulous coloring! I'm going to come to Canada so you can teach me how to make these fabulous cards!!! Everyone of them is amazing!!
Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.

Looks like Deb and I will be coming to Canada! what week works for you. Let me coordinate with Deb from this end, and you can count on his comin' for the week to steal your ideas and your techniques, and of course everything in your stamp room! This is absolutely amazing: There's so much to look at here. Love that stamp and all those scallops. Yikes, your design and details are all amazing, for that matter!

Well, Ila, I daresay I live closer to you that some of the others that are planning a trip your way for colouring instructions, so I guess I'll get there first!!! ( Unless Cindy H decides to drive over first!!
Love your card!! The croc looks 3 - D - I don't know how you do it... it 's just gorgeous !! I'm ( sometime ) going to have to pull out my H20s along with my gamsol and see if I can do anything even close to your artistry!! Great mix of dp and as always, love your distressing and stitching!! Dang!! I told myself I've got a lot more stamps than sense, but perhaps the time has come to put an order in to High Hopes!! Fabulous work Ila!!
