Oh, happy day, I'm honored to be this month's guest designer at the Penny Black Saturday Challenge!
The theme is always "anything goes", with this month's option being "on the water". I had to think about that one, but then I remembered the skateboarding kitty from the Happy Times set... so I cut off the wheels and made him a surfer kitty. Too much fun!
I also used Penny Black Super Day for the sentiment, and the Background Basics stencil set for help with the background. I first placed a circle positive mask and brushed on the sky, then placed the negative of that same circle and filled in the sun.
The waves and white splash are courtesy of Memory box. A few gems were added to enhance the idea of splashes or bubbles, and I coated his cool shades with Diamond Glaze.
This is going to be my Rich's birthday card in October. He was a southern California surfer dude way back when. Then he moved to Oregon and became a fishing dude. He's still that guy at heart, but these days it's only from his armchair.
You know there are some awesome samples on the PBSC blog, so treat yourself to a look-see. Hope you can play along! Have a super day!

Talk about a COOL CAT! Leslie, your ingenuity slays me! You had every single perfect thing in your stash to make this dude's dream come to fruition! Your surfing/fishing guy is going to flip over this one - I sure did!
Congratulations on your GD gig at PBSC! I can't wait for more!

This little surfing kitty is most certainly a "cool dude"! What a great wave you gave him to ride on too. The GA on his sunglasses bring this to the next level. So clever of you to cut the wheels off his skateboard and turn it into a surf board. Pure genius!!
Cute card.What an awesome kitty. Love your blending of colors. Have a great day
Congrats on your GD spot. Your card is brilliant. I love its vibrancy and the sky and sea are just wonderful. Great idea to create a surfboard from the skate board too. It is so nice when these brain waves hit and you manage to pull them off too. Rich will love it xx

Way to go on the GD spot. Your artfully gorgeous cards are a great showcase for Pb images. This is such fun and Rich will adore it.
Your cat is just too cool!! He is definitely having a great time. I'm sure Rich will love it! I really like the waves. Great idea to cut off the wheels. Tell Rich we know how he feels. Every time we go into the garage we see our snowmobiles sitting there all covered up. We always say next year. Have a great week!
Oh Leslie...this card just couldn't be any CUTER!!! Your surfer dude is one cool cat and great idea to make the skate board a surf board! I love his cool shades too!

Perfect... Or should I say purrfect! Jo x
Well, congrats on the GD spot, they are lucky to have you! This surf board riding kitty is just the cutest, I follow a FB cat that actually rides a board (or did, he passed away this year) and it reminds me of him. I love everything about this card!!
Congrats on your GDT spot-love the fabulous surfer kitty and waves.
