Surfing

A friend asked me to make a card for her brother's 40th birthday.  A new outdoor surfing pool (The Wave) was opened in our city recently and the card was to contain a gift voucher for The Wave.

I searched everywhere for a suitable online digi stamp, without any luck.  Eventually I found a free children's colouring page, which I resized and coloured with Promarkers.  The image was die cut with a Memory Box 'Stitched Rectangle Layers' die. The background was embossed with a Creative Expression 'Ocean Waves' e/f.   The sentiment is computer generated. 

I am joining in the following challenges:

  2. Really beautiful, Liz. The matching embossing background is beautiful. And I love the idea that you used the same colors for the sea in the image and the background paper. Kisses, my friend.
