I was so happy to see Jo aka reddydyisco as the Featured Stamper today. I knew exactly which card I wanted to case without looking. I knew my Bugaboo Gus image was perfect for it.
I changed the scenery for Gus from a pool to the tropics.
I stamped the starvingartistamps background stamp and cut out the palm trees and bushes. I printed out the Bugaboo Gus image and sentiment. I then sponged on the sahara sand and stamped the itty bitty bg stamps with close to cocoa and crumb cake. I masked off the sand and sky and brayered on cool caribbean and baja breeze for my water. Last I used a handcut cloud template and sponged in my clouds.
I popped up Gus and the sentiment.
Totally Stampalicious blog challenge is to use a stamp that you haven't use in 6 months. I had it for probably that long and never used it. I hope it counts

Irene, this is wonderful. I am with Gus these days - I pretty much wear what I want. Lovely scene - such a super fun card.
