C.C. Designs~Roberto's Rascals SPLASHIES!

Today I'm sharing my latest card for C.C. Designs using one of the stamps from the June Release called Roberto's Rascals SPLASHIES! I love this little snorkeling boy.....he's so cute and totally reminds me of my son! I stamped him and the 3 little fishes on Cryogen White Cardstock and colored them with Copics. 
Copics:
Skin: E50, E51, E21, E11, E04
Hair: C1, C7, C9
Red: R24, R27, R29, R59
Blue: B93, B95, B99
Fish: Y11, Y15, YR21, YR23, BG10, BG13, BG15, BG18 
I found this awesome patterned 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper in my stash and it reminded me of the movie Finding Dory so I just had to use it to create my underwater scene! This card came together relatively fast since I kept it clean and simple. The sentiment is also part of the Splashies Stamp Set. I raised the little boy and 3 fish on pop-dots for added dimension. 
 Now be sure to head over to the C.C. Designs Store and snatch up these adorable stamps and amazing dies! They definitely need to be a part of your collection! Be sure to check back next week for Previews and the Blog Hop for our JULY RELEASE!
Hugs,
Rosie

This card features the new DoveArt Studio Flower Lily:

For my card today I decided to use several of the stamps from the Little Pixie Under The Sea Clear Stamp Set. I stamped them on Hammermill Cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copics. Then I added Star Dust Stickles to certain parts to get the sparkle. I used Faber Castel Silver Gel for the pearls.

The cool background was created using glossy paper, Copics, an air compressor, and alcohol in a spray bottle. We learned how to make this background at Jennifer Dove's Copic Boot Camp class. I went in May, but she's having another one this November. You definitely need to check it out if you want to improve your Copic coloring and learn some new techniques! I found some glittery cardstock for the background mat.
