Turtle Fun

One of my online cardmaking friends of about 15 years has asked that a few of us girls could make her granddaughters birthday special by making her a card for her birthday, she is turning 9.  You know I like to try and make cards for the person so I asked what she likes and she said she likes turtles and the color blue.  I thought oh my I don't have any turtles that I know of, then I thought of my coloring calendar images and so I started looking through them and guess what I found.  I googled turtles and actually found one that had blue in it, so I colored this little guy up like him.


I tried the Ombre' coloring of the background with this one too to make the water, and added a few white gel pen for some waves.  The image was fussy cut so that you could see the ocean through all that coral.

Hope you all were able to enjoy a lovely Palm Sunday as we get ready for the week ahead!

Take care and stay safe,

Wow, your fussy cutting of the Coral is fabulous, Connie. The ombre water is rather splendid, too. Your friend's daughter will love her sweet turtle card. How fun that her favourite animal is a turtle.
