Thinking Ant

Hi everyone! Hope your holiday was a happy one. Today I would like to share a card I made for the CDAC sketch challenge (cdacsc1), hosted by Sugar Creek Hollow.
My image is a new freebie from Doodle Pantry called Thinking Ant. I colored my image with Copics and pencils with gamsol. Although you can't tell by the photo. my image was coated with Liquid Glass -- I really like how it gives my image shine and dimension. I also sponged the sky and grassy areas with Memento inks before added some Flower Soft. Ribbon and bling finished it off. This was a fun card to make!
It's going to be a hot one here this week. Record temps are predicted. So stay cool and thanks so much for stopping by!
Supplies: Stamps - Thinking Ant by Doodle Pantry; Paper - SU! soft suede, old olive, GP white, Basic Gray DP; Ink - Memento ink in summer sky, bahama blue, new sprout, bamboo leaves for sponging, Copic markers, pencils and gamsol; Accessories - CTMH liquid glass, MS ribbon, Flower Soft, and some bling from my stash.
