For my first card, I used the new Beachball Riley, but today he's a she! Yep it's so easy to turn Riley into Sophie. I just stamped him onto white, and using my fine tip marker, made a cute top with a ruffle on the bottom!

The card base is black, with a layer of regal rose embossed with the d'vine swirl EF, edges sponged. The top panel is dp. And the border is made with an EK punch and black glitter paper!

Beachball Riley/Sophie was stamped on white, cut out and added to a very vanilla oval. Her shorts and top are paper pieced. The beachball is covered with crystal effects and the glasses with a copic atyou spica. The starfish at the top was made with an EK punch.

This is the new Wagon Riley. He's so cute. I stamped him onto white and coloured him with copics. Then I cut out the image.

The card base is chocolate chip, with a layer of basic grey dp-mellow. The main panel is a mega curved rectangle nestie. The grass and sky are both basic grey dps. The flowers were made with the MS edge punch. I also punch a red piece and cut out the flowers. The centers are gems. The sun was made with the inverted scallop nestie and a circle punch.

I popped Wagon Riley up on dimensionals.

This card was made using the new Sailboat Riley! I stamped him onto white and coloured with copics and then paper pieced his sail and the water. The main image was cut with the circle nesties and backed with an inverted scallop circle nestie.

The card base is so saffron and then a layer of SU welcome neighbour dp. The white panel is embossed with the heart EF from the love language set.

I popped up the main image panel, and finished it off with the hearts, and a tiny heart gem on the mast.
