Have a picnic!

Ok, I know it is too hot to have a "real" picnic, but maybe we can have one on paper!  I have another birthday card for work & didn't want to go traditional "guy" stuff so I settled on a picnic theme. Yes, gals, I do work with ladies too! lol  Right now, it is about half & half. 


As I look at this now, I'm wondering if I made it too "girly" for a guy. I may have to rethink this one! ha ha  I fell in love with this tablecloth paper from Authentique. Wish I had bought several of these
6 X 6 pads now.  The corners are made with a Marianne Design die & the stamps were from an old Stampin Up set I rarely use. it was colored with Prismacolor markers. If you haven't checked them out lately, they now come with the same brush tip as Copics & are also alcohol based, but at a fraction of the cost.  
 Catch you later!  I think I better go work on a more "manly" card. ha ha

  1. Great fun to see a picnic from the ants' point of view! I've not seen these stamps before. Isn't the weather strange this year? You've got a horrendous heatwave and we've had constant deluges! Mother Nature's all over the place!

  2. Good job! More "layering" than you usually do. Cute card. I want one of everything when my birthday rolls around. I have so many favorites I could celebrate almost 365 days a year, Hmmm---would that mean presents ??

  5. Oh! I really love your coloring on this! Love the stamps, too. I thought it was an OCL set at first. Those older stamps are still perfectly good. Glad to see them in use. This is soooooo cute! I'm so excited to hear about the Prismacolor markers! I started with them, but with the old tip. It was my most fervent desire that they would change to the brush tip like Copics. I might have to check them out. The price difference is huge. Thank you for the info!
