Cowabunga!! It’s Kona!
Here’s the new darling of the surfers, Kona! He makes surfing look so easy & fun! Not that we can surf here in my area of Texas, but Kona is honoring his eclectic Paperie friends with a great big shout out from a cool & refreshing wave! No, it was not cool or refreshing here in Texas while Daisy & Joy visited. One had to be inside with the A/C and/or sipping on something cold & refreshing to think of those terms. Whew!
Kona’s wave is crested with white glitter and Stickles for a cool & fun touch. The image layer is popped up above the solid color layer, which has real sand added to add a more life-like texture to the scene. Kona was colored twice, with the 2nd image cut out & popped up above the first image. His eyes are filled with Glossy Accents for a great look. Clouds were sponged on with Tim Holtz Distress Ink. Finishing touches are with folded ribbon, and a Tim Holtz Fragment oval, adhered to the sentiment!
Tex’s Tip: Stamp your sentiment with Distress Ink, then cover with Glossy Accents. Apply the fragment slowly, pressing to prevent any bubbles. Allow just a couple of minutes to let the G.Accents set. Trim around the fragment. Gently sand the paper edges smooth to the edge of the fragment.
This project stems from a visit to the FS Challenge this week, FS125, featuring Dawn Lusk! I hope you enjoy, and have a great today & tomorrow! Thanks so much for being here!
