Garden Hose Ants



Happy start to a new week!  Today, Doodle Pantry is sponsoring the Pile It On Challenge.  The theme is "Summer Fun",  and I think these cute ants from Garden Hose Ants Color Plus fill the bill.  

The image was merged on top of cloud digi paper from Cupid Turtle.  I used 2 different digi papers from Birthday Bash to paper-piece the inner-tubes.  Also, added a panel of the same dotted paper to the card's base.  Coloring done with Copics and a Sakura Clear Star pen.

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:
Inkspirational Challenge #61 -- Word Prompt - Splash
Crafty Catz Challenge 240 -- Hot Summer and/or Hot Colors
4 Crafty Chicks Challenge #203 -- The Great Outdoors
Cute Card Thursday Challenge 330 -- Fun in the Sun
Crafty Calendar's July's Challenge -- Summertime Fun
Crafting by Designs Challenge -- Use a Sentiment

Thanks so much for stopping by; have a great day!

    I think this is my favorite of all the Ants sets from Doodle Pantry, Pat, and you've just outdone yourself! I love the polka dot paper, especially the paper pieced bit in the image. Wonderful and fun! :-D
