Surfer Ian for icopic

What a great card I have to share with today for icopic! The challenge this week is to color with reds. I used to be so afraid of reds. Now they are some of my very favorites so I just had to give Ian a red surfboard!

Isn't he just the cutest!! That's Surfer Ian from The Greeting Farm. I began by stamping him with Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black on Copic X-Press It Blending Card. 

I created the backgrouds by sponging around shapes for the clouds and waves with Tim Holtz Distress Inks. I used Broken China for the water and Tumbled Glass for the sky. I used the smallest scallop oval Nestie for the clouds and the waves I used a Sizzix die I bought used, so sorry, I don't have the name.

Here's a close up the white splatter I added with Copic Opaque:

Sorry it doesn't show up better but I love that stuff!! If you haven't invested in any yet I think you will really like it! I love also using it to grunge up the edges of panels. 

Here's the colors of Copics I used:

And here's a close up of the sentiment I created:

You can grab the sentiment I created:

I hope you will find time to pop over and join the challenge this week! Red's can be a whole lot of fun!!
