Measurements: yellow & designer paper (before border) is 1” from the top, the yellow panel is 3 5/8” wide, designer paper is ½” smaller in width than the yellow, the pink turned square is 2 5/8”, image panel 2 7/8” x1 7/8”.
-The image panel has some sponging done to define the grass and sky area. I also used pad ink and artist brush to color her bikini top and flower and a little marker for the grass skirt.
-Stickles was added to the flower.
-The flowers with the brads were lightly sponged with pad ink then sculpted by rolling the large ball of the wood style stylus in a circle motion over the flower while lying on a folded paper towel for a cushion.
-The sun is stamped, colored with refill ink, cut out and tacky glued to the card for more dimension.

LOVE this little penguin hula girl! (I took hula for 4 years when we lived in Hawaii after we were first married!) She works perfectly for this sketch, which was very fun to work with! Love your bright island color combo!

I guess I didn't read the instructions--were we supposed to make a shaker card? Darn cute image (altho she needs to cut back on the fish) and love the island colors--another winner, Rox!

I just bought that penguin this past week - and I love your sentiment to go with her. A perfect card idea to send to girlfriends ... Thanks for the inspiration.
