Mine mine mine

September 2, 2016

As soon as I saw the new “Stay Salty” stamp set from Ellen Hutson, the thing that popped into my mind was the seagulls in the Disney/Pixar movie, “Finding Nemo” – do you remember them? Let me refresh your memory:

I used an older Hero Arts set, “Small Variety Alphabet” to create the “mine mine mine” sentiment. (you have to say it in the right voice – maybe go and watch “Finding Nemo” to check exactly how to do it. I’ll wait.)

The sentiment inside says, “may you be happier than a seagull with a stolen chip”.  Makes me smile! (this stamp set was designed by Julie Ebersole, so the fact that it makes me smile is no surprise at all!) 

Thanks so much to our very generous sponsor for September, Ellen Hutson!

 Our challenge theme this month is Texture. I tried to create some texture on the sand on my card with some stippling with my Copic markers – this gives the look of texture, on a perfectly smooth one-layer card. 

Thanks for visiting!
