No Waves, No Glory!

Hi!
My Hubby and I took a surfing lesson when we were in Hawaii. Boy it sure is harder than it looks and I never did get up on the board, just took lots of tumbles. Hubby made it up a few times and thinks he looked like "Surfer Bob" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. Let me tell you, it wasn't quite like that and I have the CD to prove it LOL.
Every once in a while I like to make a Stair Step card. They are fun, easy to make and you can create little scenes. I thought Bob would look perfect surfing on this card base. The sentiment "No Waves" from HH goes perfectly with this card.
I used a stitched wave die in 3 colours of blue and glued them to the "steps". Some are popped up with foam tape for added dimension. I took a sponge, some white ink and dabbed the waves to look like the whitecaps in the Ocean. I love this surf board paper from Bo Bunny's "Beach Therapy" 6x6 collection. The sentiment "No Waves" from HH goes perfectly with this card.
I added some clouds in the background and glued them to acetate so they looked like they are floating in the background. I hand drew the birds on the clouds.
