This cute turtle is from Doodle Pantry and ever since I saw him I've LOVED him, and I've been trying to make a card with him. I wanted to colour him realistically and I discovered I need waaay more practice! I must have thrown out at least 6 watercoloured images, I've kept one (that I did with prisma markers) I really like but its more of a solid green, cute, but not what I wanted. It took me a while but I think I did it. I love brayering and for this card I knew that I wanted a digi sentiment. I've never printed a sentiment over my brayering, just a stamped one, so I left the cardstock as an 8 1/2 x 11. I want to try printing on a cut piece of cardstock since a lot of times I don't know in advance what I'm going to make. Any suggestions about what you do or don't do would be appreciated! The inside of the card has two of the sentiments that come with the set combined "Just saying hello and wishing you peace in a time of trouble." I've entered this into Charisma Cardz challenge which is to do something new or something not done before and the Stamp Something challenge which is to stamp something cute. This guy is totally adorable!Stamp: Doodle Pantry Turtle Hello, Stampin Up Weathered and Inspired by Nature, Firecracker Designs Elephants on Parade
