Happy Sunday everyone!! I hope you are enjoying your day. I have been TRYING to organize a bit of my craft stuff. I should be purging BUT cannot seem to let go of my stuff. I admire people that just let it go but as soon as I do, I wish I had it again. Am I the only one?
Have not been creating that much but BUYING a bunch. (Hence the organizing!) I am officially cut off on September 1st as I now have to start saving for Charlotte's college. We have a bit saved already but the schools that she is looking at are a bit over the budget that we had set aside.
Today I am posting a card that I created with a Copic marker scene and combining a few stamp sets. I LOVE combining my stamp sets-really helps to stretch them-but in this day and age, rarely do. I am determined to do more of it, though.
This card started off incredibly by the little LDRS Creative pig from the "Sweet Treats" set. I have been coloring them all week (more cards to come) but thought this particular piggy would look good on a beach, in a bathing suit that I drew on him.
The background I created by using my Copic Markers. I used some photos from Pinterest to help me figure out how to do this and was surprised that this came out as well as it did. I had to shop for a bunch of Copic refills today (don't tell my husband!) because I used a TON of ink.
I die cut little clouds out of white card stock using Taylored Expressions "Little Bits Sun and Clouds" dies. On two of the clouds I used foam adhesive for a bit of pop.
I created the little towel Mr. Pig is sitting on and used one of the umbrella stamps from Pretty Pink Posh's "Rainy Days" set to help him stay out of the sun. The sentiment is from My Favorite Things "Penguins in Paradise" and the little star fish is from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "Mermaids" set.
I had put a photo of the background on IG and FB before I made the card and had a few requests for a tutorial on the background. When I get my refills in I will be attempting to make my first, real video. What a scary thought!
The colors were inspired by A Heart Desires Challenge #15 August 2017 Mood Board and the scene was created for AAA Challenge #96 "Summer Fun."
I will be back tomorrow with a quick card that I created for Freshly Made Sketches Sketch #300.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by!!

Absolutely amazing job with your coloring!
This is cuter than cute can be Nora! Your coloring is wonderful and I like the foam you added to the water!
I can't wait for the video, Nora, cuz that is one amazing ocean/beach scene! And your pig, my gosh, what a cutie-patootie! I just want to squeeze his rosy cheeks! Love, love, love his glossy polka-dot trunks, his towel, his umbrella, and that delicious-looking chocolate ice cream cone!! Perfect sediment as my heart has totally melted!!
You gotta buy, save, toss, purge, keep, give away, forget and find again products to the beat of your own craftaholism! (But when you get to be my age, it is easier to pass things on!) Hugs, Darnell
Nora, since I've recently become interested in card making, I'll be following you more often! And if it's any comfort, I too have been spending more of my time "buying" than "creating." lol This card is adorable, and I really cannot wait to see a video demo!
Nora, this is absolutely darling!!!
Beautiful artwork and a super Summer scene. Thanks for playing at AAA Cards.
Your coloring is spectacular!!! TRULY. So the college fund is important but I would be pushing the scholarships...if you know the school your daughter is headed to, I would be there paging through their scholarship offerings to see what she can apply for...
