ok, let's get onto my card!
I used these amazing and CUTE and fun images from Waffle Flower Stamps The SEAson stamp set!

so cute!

I colored all of the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, and then fussy cut them out! 

I used Distress Inks in Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Salvaged Patina to ink blend color on the ocean background. then I splattered some water, and used the Starry Night Stencil from Lawn Fawn to add texture with white embossing paste.

I heat embossed the sentiment with white onto black cardstock and then fussy cut around it.

ok, let's get onto my card!
I used a bunch of Waffle Flower Crafts products with a dash of Newton's Nook and a Sprinkle of Lawn Fawn! lol!

so cute!
those llamas from the Fa-La-La Combo set are so adroable! I just love their cheer! I colored all of the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out!!

I used Distress Inks in Twisted Citron, Squeezed Lemonade and Mowed Lawn to create an ink blended background! then I used the Music Stencil with the same colors, but with more pressure when I was ink blending, to create the music notes in the background! 

once it was dry, I used the Snowflake Trio Stencil from Lawn Fawn and white embossing paste to add some texture!

the background was then die cut out with the Nesting Speech Bubbles Dies to create the fun shaped card! and finally, the sentiment was heat embossed in white and popped up!

one more thing, I had to add some cute little puffy balls to the tops of all the heads!

I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto a strop of black cardstock, and then popped it, and the mice up with foam tape!
