Surf’s Up

What do you think of today’s funky van from Echidna Studios? A few months back I watercoloured the vintage VW beetle and it’s still one of my favourite digital images from the store. The new Surf’s Up image is equally cool and made me reach for some marbled paper that would make it all the more fun! The digital stamp set includes three surfboard images that can be positioned with the van or used on their own.

The paper I had was a 6″x6″ square which I was able to manually feed through my printer. I imagine some of you are wondering if I fussy cut this because I have been vocal in my dislike of fussy cutting in the past. Surprisingly I did cut it out and also an extra roof and van body from cardstock to tuck behind to lift and strengthen the cut out. I coloured directly on the marble paper with a black pencil, and white and silver gel pens.

Naturally a marbled van wanted a paisley backdrop so I embossed some pink cardstock with a cuttlebug folder I recently picked up at a garage sale. The bold die cut sentiment is from Penny Black. Hope you have a groovy day!
