Hi everyone!
So many things going on today - Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there including my own, my father-in-law and my wonderful hubby! Secondly, it's my mommy's birthday today - Happy Birthday, Mom! :) And finally, it's the 20th of the month so that means it's time for another DeNami Challenge!
The challenge is to create a Summer or Tropical project! Fun, right?
All these tropical projects lately are really making me miss Hawaii!
Here's my card for today:
I'm really getting into the scenic cards so you're going to be seeing a lot of those from me! For this card I used the adorable Surfer Mimi and colored her with my Copics before carefully cutting her out with my fine-tip scissors. I placed her on some kraft "sand" and added some sky blue water in the background. I used the Mini Swirl Flourish to make it look like the waves of the ocean. Did I do a good job with that, or what? I thought I was being really clever! *lol* I stamped the word Aloha in the sky and ta-da, my card was done! :) I kept the card base a simple white and cut out a yellow sun out of some scraps to complete it.
Hope you enjoyed my card today!
Thanks so much for visiting! :) Have a fabulous Sunday!
Jo! Where's the pic? Love love love the swirl waves!! Pure genius! :D

Fabulous card, Jo! I love Mimi anyway, but your coloring puts her over the top! Such a clever and fun technique with the flourish waves, too. Thanks for sharing!

This card is super cute all around, but I have to say that your creative use in making waves totally amazed me. Way to think outside the stamp! Love it :-)
