Carousel Dolphin



Happy August!  Gosh summer seems to be rushing by.  With the new month comes a new release by Doodle Pantry; and I am excited to share one of the new releases, Carousel Dolphin.  I love the vintage feel of this sweet image.  It brings back many wonderful memories of summer vacations, carnivals, and trips to the amusements park.

I colored the image with Copic markers and colored pencils.  Edges were distressed with Crushed Curry ink.  I used lots of layers and a scallop border die cut.  Finishing touches include a silver ribbon and metal embellishment.

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:
Fan-Tastic Tuesday Challenge #46 -- Anything Goes (square or rectangular)
Divas by Designs July 30 -- Anything Goes
Deep Ocean Challenge #83 -- Summer Colours

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend; many thanks for stopping by!

  8. Hi Pat, sorry to have been MIA for a while. Thanks for your visit & sweet comment as well. This is the most adorable carousel image. Love dolphins - they are such fun to watch. This guy is all dressed up for fun. Will have to check this one out. The DP was perfect for this fella, and I loved the circus look of the yellow & white stripey scallop at the top. Well done. TFS & Hugs
