One of my Mom's friends asked me to make a Christmas card for her to send out. The only request was that it had a "beach theme" -- because she was sending it to the family that rents a condo to her (on the beach) in the Summer.
I knew right away that I had to use Gina K's Sandy Claws!!! How perfect! One of my girls (Alli Miles) sent me a few images (Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!) to work with.
I used an oval Nestabilies die to cut and emboss the little lobster. Then, I used Copic markers and Spica pens to add color and sparkle. I FINALLY used my Copic Airbrush system and added a blue border (by using a smaller oval as a mask).
The water is from a scrap of printed paper that I've had in my stash. I just trimmed along one of the waves and... voila!
I hear she was really happy with the finished product. Yeah!!! :)
