Hugh Manatee

Hello again, y'all, and welcome to my second card of the day!  Here it is:


Of *course* this manatee's name is Hugh : )  I wish the colors on this photographed a bit better, but my phone seems to have beef with Cloud Cover and always makes it look weird.  And the bit under the manatee's tail is Secret Sea, not black.  Those three little scraps of DSP are what started this card, I had them left over from a design team card you'll see soon and they were all one inch tall so I decided I could use them for this card.  Proof that you can use even tiny pieces of DSP to make a card!

I'm entering this at CAS on Friday where they want anything that's CAS.  Last time I looked, this stamp set was on the Last Chance List so go grab it if you haven't yet.  I haven't even gotten to use the panda or the elephant yet.

Okay, I'm off to make some more schtuff.  Cheers!

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  Big Little Things
Ink:  Cloud Cover, Secret Sea
Paper:  Cloud Cover, Basic Beige, Thick Basic White, Nature Walk DSP
Accessories:  Dimensionals, Faux Glass Dots

And I have a third card today, I made over this morning's card in The Man Rainbow for the hubs' birthday on Saturday, check it out:


I like to jokingly refer to The Man Rainbow which encompasses about 95% of the hubs' wardrobe:  white, black, gray, navy blue, and khaki.  Every once in a great while he'll mix it up with a dark red or forest green and I'm like whoa now, let's not get too crazy here.  Ha!  Meanwhile I'm over here with my fluorescent pink winter jacket.

Okay, that's it for today (really).  I'm going back upstairs to work some more until it's time to pick up Ryan.  Cheers!

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  Valentine Kisses
Ink:  Boho Blue
Paper:  Boho Blue, Whisper White, Take to the Sky DSP, Silver Glimmer Paper
Accessories:  Hearts Collection Framelits, Stylish Shapes dies, Dimensionals, Opal Rounds

Hugh the manatee is adorable and I love the manly version of yesterday's card - the Boho Blue looks great with the man rainbow of colours!

Love both cards, but I had to laugh at the "man rainbow"....my sentiments exactly for John's wardrobe! Although I did get him a rusty-orange shirt for Christmas last year and surprisingly, he wears that a lot. His shirts have to have a POCKET---which limits things a lot! Anyway, I love the masculine feel to these cards---that sentiment is perfect!
