I'm so excited to be a part of the kick off for this release. How cute are all these new images?

I got to play with the adorable Summer Luka stamp and here's my 3D diorama card with Luka all suited up for a day out in the ocean with all his fishy friends using Scenic Route's Snorkel patterned papers.


Here's a detailed shot of Summer Luka with (what I hope are) the beginnings of a sunburn. :)

Copics Used:
Hair: YR20, YR21, E31
Skin: E00, E11, R20
Shorts: Prismacolor Crimson Red, 0 Blender
Turtle: G14, Y38
Flippers/Goggles: B02, B04

And here's a close up of the different layers of elements of my diorama scene card. Can you see the school of fish that I added? I really loved this Snorkel line and am finally glad I got to use it. I think they go great with Luka in his snorkel gear!

I followed the tutorial for this diorama card on SCS but altered the dimensions to fit my needs. Mainly, I wanted a large enough opening to expose the fishy designs on the CC Snorkel Paper to show through, so it had the dimensions were fitted around the #3 die of my Spellbinder Curved Rectangular die set. So I made mine taller with my opening portrait instead of landscape like most of the examples in the tutorial and gallery to accommodate the size of SB die. The dimensions of my card are 4.5" tall and 5" wide.

And speaking of Summer Luka in his snorkel gear, check him out:



Now keep on hopping to see what Cindy has for you today, and be sure to comment on ALL the blogs for a chance to win one these cuties!

Good luck and enjoy the hop, everyone!
