Belated Bday Card

Hello my crafty friends,
I hope you had a happy July 4th weekend.  I was busy getting ready for the weekend with a combination of 2 birthday parties and July 4th all rolled into one. Sadly to say the Craftitude Challenge blog has closed. But now I will be available to join another design team if they'll have me.  I love working with digital images and my Spectrum Noir markers.  Moving on, here is my creation for the challenge over at Artistic Inspirations Challenges.  The image is from Meljens Designs.com. I used the Darice embossing folder Cobblestones for the base card.  I print and cut the sentiment image with the Silhouette Cameo.  I printed and cut the turtle's shell twice.  I wanted it to have depth and put it on pop dots over the existing shell.  Of course I have to have some sparkle so I added Stickles Diamond to the shell and the turtles accessories. Popdots were also placed under the sentiment and the entire turtle for that 3D effect. I like the way the shadow shows under the turtle shell so it looks like he actually is wearing a shell.  Of cour I used my Spectrum Noir markers. I am waiting on a set of Chameleon markers to come in from 7 kids college fund. It was a pre-order from January, They were due in April then moved to June for shipping.  Yes, I'm still waiting. I'll let you know when I receive them and share my thoughts on them.  But since they are still not in you could take a chance and order them at the lower pre-order price and not wait as long. Without further ado, here is my card.
