Dude
I need to admit something. I say “dude” a lot. I use it all the time. When I get excited, I will say “dude…” instead of your name. It’s annoying from what I hear. I have a tendency to use it at inappropriate times too. Such as when I am talking to my dad. We will be at work and I might say something like, “Dude, did you see that check we go in?!?!?” It is soooooo unprofessional. I do it anyway.
As you can tell, I have been really busy working on my A Muse stuff. That is where “dude” comes in here. I swear this card makes me say ”DUDE!!!!” when I look at it. I love the A Muse Surfer. He begs to be cut out and popped up (IMO, what doesn’t though?). You would die if you knew how many nights I sit around and cut little things, critters and people out. It’s ridiculous. I love cutting stuff out!
The note card is by A Muse, as are the image and sentiment. I used SU!’s Summer Sun and Yoyo Yellow for the sun. They are punched out with SU!’s 1 1/4″ and 1 3/8″ circle puches to make the “sun”.
I am still trying my hand at a little doodling. I drew the “waves” with a SU! Basic Black Marker. The Surfer is stamped in Palette Noir Hybrid ink and the sentiment in SU! Summer Sun. He is watercolored with SU! WCW crayons.
Again with the cutting:
I couldn’t get a good shadow on this… it took several tries. I ended up needing to cut the A Muse take out box out for a better look. I stamped the images in Palette Noir Hybrid Ink and SU! Going Grey. All images are by A Muse. I covered the take out in Star Dust Stickles and X-mas Red Stickles. It is so pretty! The ribbon is some polka dot organdy from Michael’s.
I have a fun filled evening of plant watering to lookforward to! We haven’t had a lick of rain and my garden is suffering! Have a great night girls and stay tuned for more stamping!!!
DUDE!! They are so cool!
Your stuff rocks!
I have a friend that says that all the time, too. I don’t find it annoying at all!
Dude - very cute! Love how you popped him and his colors are great too!
Nice shadow for the take out box!
One thing is missing on the surfer dude…
I know this as I laid on the beach in Miami watching guys give rides on their sail boats for a living. I was watching them intently…no I didn’t say lustfully, but…ah…um….where was I?
The guy needs to have just enough tattoos on his arm and back and make his hair a little shinier like its naturally bleached by the sun. Some jute necklaces or bracelets are necessary…sigh…but definitely you need to stamp tiny little tattoos. ; ) I’m not asking too much, am I?
Ten middle brownies each!!!
I usually hear chuckles when I’m on the phone with Don and I say “Dude!” to him.
WhatEVER!! Hahaha!
