Aloha!

Aloha

Hello everybody, and Happy Sunday!

Today I wanted to make a summer card, since it is almost summer and it is like summer already here in Lake Mills.  To start,  my mom printed for me this Turtle Kona from Our Craft Lounge, the set is called Hangin’ Loose with Kona. I chose the one where he is standing with his surf board. I colored the image using colored pencils and markers. I colored the surf board and his body with markers; with the colored pencils I colored his swimming trunks, the sand, and the little crab. I also added some glitter to his eyes because eyes sparkle, right! I colored the sand using different browns and mixing them together. When I was coloring the first little crab I messed up on him, so I decided to cut him off and make a new one and it was much better. Then I cut the image out and used pop-up dots to put the crab on to the rest of the image. After all of that I was trying to figure out the layout,  it was easy. I used an oval Nestabilities and colored the inside light with colored pencil and the outside dark. I took a blue with some green paper to match him and the surf board, and took an orange striped paper to match his swimming trunks and the crab. Then I thought something was missing  on the side, so I added a ribbon with dots that match the paper. Ribbon always helps me when I think something is missing! Finally, I added the sentiment Aloha and colored it with colored pencils blue and green. After  I finished the outside of the card, I decided to do an inside.  I added the dotted paper on the bottom and put the striped paper on top.

Inside of Card

Then I just added some white paper  to write in. When I closed the card and opened up again to check if something  was wrong, something was wrong! I did the  inside on the top instead of the bottom! But thank goodness I didn’t glue the cover on so tight because I could just easily peal it off and put on the back!

Thanks for stopping by and thank you so much for your comments!
