As you can see our heroes are back in the USA, Hawaii that is. I love how this card turned out, it is uber-bright and i love bright. Obviously i used Gina K's farmyard friends, along with my Langley Boy Designs palm trees and SU's Do the Hula and farmyard wheel (for the clouds...again...heehe)As stated in a previous post I have started embossing the stamped images to make coloring more easy(no bleeding) and I still gotta say it makes for a nice clean look. I mean look at the surf board, ordinarily, with me anyway, the red marker would bleed into the yellow and make it look crumby, but there it stands clear as day. I love it. I also like how the cuttle bug embossing turned out, don't know if you noticed it but only the center of the real red is embossed and i think it looks cool. I just made the card stock 3/4 of an inch to big on both dimensions and voila centered embossing. And in case you are wondering the sand on the beach is sandpaper!

This is AMAZING!!!!
The detailing is great...thanks for the tip on embossing before coloring...and the use of sandpaper, the cuttlebug on just part of the bg...my goodness, it's all good!
Besides all the obvious skill put into this card, the concept is an absolute HOOT!! I'm from the midwest...farm animals on a surfboard?? LOL

Totally WOW! I have to say that the embossing before coloring is sure worth the effort! I love the bright colors and cut out images. Sandpaper sand, huh!? Brilliant AND punny! I need to catch up on the story line, though, cuz I'm obviously behind!

This is so cleaver...and an adorable card! I love everything about it. You're right. Embossing does make coloring much easier. Love the cloud idea. I'm going to have to try that!
