Chilaxin'

I don't live near a beach and I don't have a pool but on a really hot, humid summer day I wish I did. Chopper seems to have found a cool spot and drink to chilax on a beautiful summer day with this card featuring "Choppers Chilaxin'" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. I don't know who makes me giggle more.....Chopper or Milton.......

I stamped Chopper on alcohol marker friendly paper and coloured him with Copic markers. I stamped him on masking paper, cut him out and added some distress ink to create my water and used a wavy stencil to add some waves. I set that aside and found some paper from Echo Park to create my card base to fit the 5" x 5" size. I added some twine and edged the paper with Ground Espresso Distress ink. Next, I cut around the water and Chopper leaving a thin white line at the top. I glued that down the matching card stock and cut a thin line around the top and edged it with Ground Espresso. 

The sentiment was a challenge but I masked off the words from two different sentiments to create this one. This took three tries and a lot of patience and holding my breath. To finish off the card I added a die cut sun popped up with a pop dot and enamel dots.
