I've had this great stamp in my stash for well over a year without ever putting ink to it - shock horror!!! I bought it when I visited Viva Las Vegas Stamps on vacation last year, it was one of the stamps in my 'Pound of Rubber' - for just $10 it was great value.
The image is cut using a nestie die then I used Stormy Skies Distress Ink to create a sky effect, masking a few areas with cloud shaped pieces of paper. I coloured the image with Promarkers and added some Glossy Accents on his sunnies, beachball and 'cool' surfboard, and on the windscreen and headlamps of his 'Automobile'.
I used a couple of sheets from the DCWV Pocketful of Posies pack for the background and a couple of bits of SU! cardstock to diecut the grass and seedheads with Marianne's dies. I made the rosette from a strip of patterned paper and my Hougie Board, with a circle punched from white card and coloured with a Promarker to match the coloured image, added to the centre.
As you've probably guessed, this is for my Dad, I hope he'll like it.

Your Dad will love it Wynneth. I love the masking cloud idea and the use of glossy accents is perfect.
