Surf's Up Bobble Head Surfer Interactive Birthday Card made with Simon Hurley create

Welcome to Cards By Kendra!
Today, I'm using my new Simon Hurley create ink pads for the very first time along with some of his new stamps to create this Bobble Head Surfer card.

See it in action here:


I learned a few things while making this card:
1.  Use a blending tool rather than a brush
2.  Test out the colors BEFORE trying to make a card
3.  Stamp two images of whatever you are trying to make "wobble" - in this case, his head. I should've stamped out two heads and colored them the same and then layered the second head on top of the first. But then again, it may look like he has two heads, so I don't know which is better. Having a floating head? Having two heads? Eh...either way, he turned out cute!

Here's a video tutorial on how I made the card:
