Hi! This card was made for today's Ways To Use It Challenge: Stamp It Again. Participants were to use the same stamp several times on a card.
It has been raining here for 9 days straight. No wonder the cats are going nuts, and the dogs are cranky. (Not to mention I'm STILL sick, and that can't help their attitudes one bit!) Hey...at least I took out garbage, did the dishes and colored my hair yesterday. I think I felt guilty that if I could stamp I certainly could do some housework... LOL!
I stamped the hula dancer on white, colored her with Copics and cut her out. Next, I stamped her lei 3 more times, colored the center flower and cut them out. Next, I cut and used a Martha Stewart border punch on the bottom layer. I stamped a flower stamp in Close to Cocoa around the edge and along the border. The tree trunk is a Sizzix die. The top is from a Spellbinders' die! I sponged the both, heavily. The background was made with my Copic airbrush.

Well, if Mother Nature doesn't bring some sunshine, this card certainly takes one to sunny Hawaii! I love the airbrushing...totally looks like a beach! What a happy card!

I think this is absolutely fantastic, Faith. Hope you are feeling better soon. We are having rain here today too but in the desert at this time of year it's very unusual and 3 cloudy days in a row is highly unusual! LOL
