Got Surf or What?

Aloha!  I think today you'll be getting "cultured" again.  I had this project sitting on my work station along with other stuff I'm doing and thought I'd better get this done!  Here is what I'm submitting for the Club Anya & Friends:  Monday Mania With . . . Caz's Couple Challenge! 


Picture taken from my balcony over
looking Punchbowl and Diamond Head.

Here is Surfer Ian and riding along is his babe Lolli Girl.  Before I get into what I did to create this, just wanted to know if you can see Diamond Head in the background.  Ok, ok . . . it was a voggy day here in Hawai`i Nei so clear skies were out of the picture (no pun intended).   But here, let me see if you can see it here?



Try clicking on the image to make it a little bigger.  Maybe even that is hard to see.  Never mind, just thought I'd give you a little glimpse.  Back to the card.  I did a lot of altering for this one . . . I made Surfer Ian's surfboard longer so that Lolli Girl could fit.  I Diamond Glazed the board to give it the look of a real surfboard.  Now on to Lolli Girl.  She is indeed Lolli Anya, but I took away her lollipop and her head.  YIKES!  I added the head of Dress Me! Anya and gave her opened eyes.  What'd ya think?

I freehanded Diamond Head in the background and colored with my copics.  The blue waves I printed off the computer and layered them with pop foam dots.  I had a bunch of diecuts that I have in my stash from a long time ago . . . the plumeria and laua`e fern which I added to the card.   Another layer used was acetate which covered the entire card & straw type ribbon.  And lastly, the sentiment printed out as well . . . my thoughts on life.  Here's the inside of the card:



Boy, I got really deep huh?  Well, I hope your JOURNEY is a smooth ride today.  MAHALO NUI LOA!
