Happy Birthday Dude! I mean Joy!!

Surprise!!!!

Happy Birthday Joy!!!

I think this is as close as you can get to a surprise party with a bunch of stampers spread out all over the US!  WE are all here and we are all ready to P-A-R-T-Y with Joy and Kona!  Kona? Who is Kona, you ask..??  He’s that hot surfer dude down below!!  Check out Cami’s blog to read about how this wave-chasin’ dude was created!!  He’s one special guy only available at one special store!! Hangin’ Loose with Kona  is an Eclectic Paperie exclusive stamp set from Our Craft Lounge!  And Oh Man! He’s fun to color! 

 

I pulled out my primsacolors and OMS to color this image.  I also used a gel pen and a glaze pen to add some depth to the water and ‘wax’ up that board!  I thought BG Lime Rickey paper would be a perfect match with this guy! I ran the blue piece through my Big Shot with a Nestie circle and deeply embossed it, then I stuck the main image right in the middle.  I know this isn’t the best picture, but I took it on my iphone at 1 a.m. and I even used an application to edit it! I’ll try again when the sun is up!!

Kona was originally going to be released on Friday but in celebration of Joy’s Birthday (Joy ADORES Kona) Daisy decided to let’um loose early!
