Next, I stamped the angel fish  and the  striped fish on the background. I then stamped them again on white paper and colored them with copic markers and cut out and glued them where I had stamped them.

It's a beautiful day by Cathy N

I first started out by stamping the kid in frog costume and sitting frog and grass and flowers on the bottom of the card panel. I colored it with copic markers, and I used different colors of green ink on the grass. 

I then stamped smiling sun in yellow ink and colored that in with copic markers. 

After I had them all colored, I needed to color the background and I thought what would be fast coverage? Chalks. I haven't used them in over 10 years. 

I then layered it on black cardstock and then on a mini slimline card. Lastly, I added a snarky saying and we are done.
