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!

Lovin' the look of the embossing; I'm gonna have to try it! This card is great: Such bright colors & I love the popped out images.....Great job!:mrgreen:
This is great. What kind of embossing powder do you use to get is so crisp? If you look at your other ones..which are great! you can see a difference. Nice job!

Great card! Love the sandpaper for sand. Although I didn't see any surfing chickens when I was in Hawaii! I think I need to get "the rest of the story"!

This is fantastic! Love the vivid colors. Very creative using the sandpaper. This is a great layout and I really like all the layered animals with the surfboard.

I want to know your secret for getting these cut out so precisely! What a fun lively card!! Great incorporation on color, on using many stamps and overall a spirited and bright card!
