The Crafty Purple Frog: Turtley Awesome

I have definitely been feeling the summer vibes with the hot weather we have had here in the UK. And I made this card using the turtles from the Turtley Awesome stamp set as they just scream summer to me :D I coloured them up with copics before putting them on with some foam pads to add a bit of dimension.

For the back ground I did some tone on tone ink blending and then did some more inking through the She sells sea shells stencil to give another layer and pattern to the background. I used squeezed lemonade, mustard seed and Fossilised Amber distress oxide inks for my stencilling. I used an oval die to cut in the middle of my inked panel to create a frame that I used for this card and I used the oval on another card that I shared last week :D

The sentiment is from the Heffy Doodle Pebble sentiments and die cut with the pebble add on die. I stamped in Catherine Pooler Tiara ink. I also used the Tiara ink to colour the strip of card so it perfectly matches the card.
