Let's Snorkel!

Anybody up for a snorkel? This weeks Hambo Hoedown challenge features this cutie...Snorkle Boy! And the challenge to sparkle by using your choice of sparkly fun!




For my card I colored the image with my Copics and cut my mats using some dp from Reminisce and BB from SU! I then used my Nesties to cut out the circle in the center that holds the bag with some hand sanitizer and glitter from Our Craft Lounge. I used Scor-Tape to adhere the bag to the mats to and then added more to adhere that to the base of the card over the image. Here is a closer look:




I added some twine from Queen &Co bought from Lilly Belle's Paperie which I glued around the frame of the circle cut out. I used my decorative scissors for the strip at the top and added more twine. I finished off the card with the sentiment and some dew drops (remember those?) that I have had for eternity! A fun card to make and your recipient most likely won't be able to stop squishing it! Lol! I thought my boys would ruin the card before I could show it! They loved playing with it!

We hope you hop over to the Hoedown play along with us! We have a new group of Bacon Bits to show off so check out their awesome creations!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek! Have a great Wednesday!
