Surfin Woody #2 - Beach scene

Hello again!  Happy last Monday in February!  I'm back with Sparkle N Sprinkle's new Surfin Woody #456 stamp set and this time I decided to get my alcohol inks out.  I'd forgotten how messy they could get, but well worth the mess when you're done.  I happened to get a free pack of 4 x 6 glossy photo paper last time I bought printer ink, so I had plenty of paper to practice on before I got the hang of it again.  The sand is done with Butterscotch and Latte ink, the ocean is Stream and Stonewashed ink, and the sky is Stonewashed, Slate, with a touch of Purple Twilight.  I used Florida Beach (#1111) glitter on the sand, colored the images with Copics, and drew the birds with Copics C7. The ocean foam is done with a white gel pen and the sentiment (from SNS Happy Birthday #416) is embossed with Mediterranean #417.  It was then mounted on an old SU turquoise cardstock and edged with 1/8" Tearific tape that was sprinkled with Waterfall (#1071) glitter.  The bottom layer of the card is SU Pool Party.  Complete directions can be found here.
I'm so pleased with how it turned out, that I may have to get Sparkle N Sprinkle's other two beach sets - By the Seashore and Ocean Treasures- and keep that alcohol ink out!
I will be entering this card in the following challenges:
Allsorts - your choice
Always Crafting - anything goes
Divas by Design - bling it up
Polkadoodle - summer fun
That Craft Place - Anything Goes
The Crazy Challenge - anything goes
The Paper Shelter -add a sentiment
2 Sisters Challenge - anything goes

Surfin Woody

OK - I know - I'm a little late for the release of this set, but I was busy playing with my Copics (and watching Copics tutorials).  I think I filled a sheet of this car before I finally got one that I liked!  So here it is, finally.  I still have some practicing to do, but it turned out ok.
The cardstock is just miscellaneous colors from my stash, as is the ribbon.  The woodgrain paper is from an Etsy shop called "blurs by ai"  and is the most realistic digital wood paper I have ever seen.  The panels are mounted on cardstock embossed with Sparkle N Sprinkle's Cappuccino Star and the brads are embossed with the same embossing powder.  The sentiments, "Old Guys Rule" from Surfin Woody (set 456) and "Happy Birthday" from Sparkle N Sprinkle's set 416 Happy Birthday are both embossed with Mediterranean, which has the prettiest sheen that you can't see in the photo.  Complete directions can be found here.
So I'm off to do my beach scene for the other Surfin Woody - stay tuned!
