For my card today, I've done even MORE merging using some cool KennyK dudes! I broke out the markers this time for coloring.  I was a little ashamed to show off the new Ryder Cole (left) image because a couple of days ago, Alberto had a really awesome card with some great coloring.  You should head to his blog for coloring inspiration after you finish our mini hop for today.  Anywho, the guy on the right is Cool Kid, which was released last month, but I hadn't gotten a chance to ink it up yet so thought it would be fun to put these two together!


The sentiment is from the Retro Bottle Cap Sentiments set that was released a while back.  It was cut out using the matching Bottle Cap Die.  Another die cut was placed behind it to make it stand out a little.


The rest of this card is pretty basic, actually!  Just lots of layering (12 pieces of paper at one spot, hehe) and sewing.  It was hard to NOT sew the images and I had to start and stop a few times.


Make sure to come back tomorrow for another showcase from me!  I have a Sylvia Zet creation next time :)
