River Float

River Float - I have made a card using Michelle Perkett's Penelope. Penelope is so cute and I played around and created a background for her.

Every year our scout troop used to take a family camp out and float down the river. I think we floated the Red River, but I am not sure. It was always a lot of fun and so relaxing. The second year the boys turned my canoe up-side down with me in it!!! I got even by telling the boy responsible that now he was my special friend and I would hug him every time I seen him. This was the kiss of death for a pre-teen boy, so needless to say, he skirted around me the rest of the trip.

My DP is Fiskars and I inked the edges with Ranger's Concord distress ink. My flowers are stems that I cut off. The ribbon was a left over that was in my stash. The purple swirls were cut with my Cricut, Storybook cartridge. I inked and added some tiny gemstones. My fiber is Making Memories.


Penelope is colored with Copics and I added Stickles to her bow and swimsuit. I added a reflection in the water. I used Marianne Walker's tutorial to make the scene.

The challenge at Michelle Perkett Studio is Summertime fun and I hope that you will join in the fun there. Remember to enter the challenge you must use a Michelle Perkett image.
