HAVE A WHEELY GREAT DAY! (1)

One of my top favorite new stamp sets from Lawn Fawn is Wheely Great Day. Especially because you can combine it with an old-time favorite of mine: Coaster Critters. And that's what I did for this slimline card.

I die cut a piece of watercolor cardstock with the Slimline with Sliders die set. I ink blended a sky using a cloud stencil and Broken China Distress Oxide Ink. For the ground I used Narwhal cardstock and Soot Ink,

I stamped the images (I also used the palm trees from Ahoy Matey) and colored everything with Copic Markers. Here are all the colors I used:
