Hi Everyone,
While this new Ain't Got That Swing greeting from DRS Designs would be super cute with any golfer image, I decided to make a summer card using one of my favorite stamps, Hula Pig! If she doesn't have swing, I don't know who does, right?! LOL!
After choosing my piggy stamp, I started off by trying to make a little beach scene, which never comes naturally for me. If the struggle is real for you too, my advice is to go small. I stamped the pig and the Palm Tree and began coloring with my Copic markers. I colored the pig first, and then began on the background, sand, water and sky, finishing up by coloring in the palm tree. There was a blank spot in the sky, so I inked up and stamp the bird portion of the Seaside Dock stamp, and colored those in using a white gel pen, also using that the create some waves on the ocean.

I cut the scene out using my oval Spellbinders die, matted it and set it aside. The background was made using the 4 in 1 Seashells and
I also added one shell to the punched out greeting too. Since I
couldn't stop adding the words "do-whop, do-whop" to the greeting in my
head, I added an embossed musical border and layered it using a swirly
punch to mimic the ocean waves.
Well, June is right around the corner...Here's to a swinging summer!
