Here's my card using Barclay - At Sea
He's so cute! I have coloured Barclay with copics (see photo below) and added glossy accents to his eyes, nose and teeth and Stickles to the water. The papers are from Crate Paper and October Afternoon and the alpha stickers and Travel the World sticker are also from October Afternoon. The ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl and the brad is from my stash.
Here's a close-up of the image:
I used to make my clouds with Distress Inks, a stencil and a sponge, but lately I find I have more control and get a better result if I just draw them in freehand with copics.
Here are the copics I used for the image:
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
The order of the Opus Gluei: Animals/weather
CES Challenges: No Girls Allowed (Male cards)

WOW Arabella this is amazing! Your colouring is just perfect and I love those clouds. What colours did you use to make them? I use my distress insk too but sometimes I find it hard to get the right intensity without smudging...
Your coloring is fantastic!! That squirrel is too cute, and I am really admiring the clouds in the background! Outstanding job!!

Hi Arabella, ooooh another gorgeous card. Love the image, he's so cute!!
Wonderful clouds as well, brilliant that you did them freehand. I think if I did that they'd look more like sheep than anything!!

Ah, your blog name already has me smiling! Who wouldn't feel happy looking at pretty things on the Chickie Chirps blog?
This is an adorable card - so much color (LOVELY) and whimsy (sigh, love that) in one place! Guaranteed to make its recipient beam with joy! The coloring of the image is spectacular and the little touches of Stickles in the water and all are a terrific idea.
Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us at Opus Gluei, hope we see more from the Chickie Chirps girls!
