Crabby Surfer {and a giveaway}

Aloha friends! I'm maybe a little early for such a summery beach card, but here in Florida its always beach time, so forgive me! I stayed up waaaaay late last night playing with this card and having fun the whole time, so much fun that I totally lost track of time as I was trying "this and that"!! As a result there are lots of little details that I want to share with you. I bet the first thing you noticed is the fabulous cloud embossing folder...{gasp}!!! I can promise you that this folder is going to compete with my all time favorites! Its from a new cuttlebug set called skyward and its the perfect size for card making!

For the "sand" I used a torn piece of cardboard with a little ink along the edges, the waves were stamped tone on tone and shaded every so slightly with copics just along the tops of the swells, and a swipe with a white gel pen for a little ocean froth! The sun is a crimper circle and strips for the rays, I added little dots of gold smooch around the sun...{I'm not sure if I love that or not} the jury is still out!:D

Mr.Crabby pants here was colored with copics and spotted with a white gel and metallic pen, his eyes have a touch of gloss on them...but in retrospect I think I should have left them white, he looks like his eyes are bloodshot! {its all the saltwater in his eyes from surfing} *grin*

I promised you all a giveaway not to be missed, and I appreciate you popping back in to see what I have in store for you! I actually have five giveaways!
