Outlawz Friday's Alcohol Markers Challenge - The Ants' Picnic Parade

Did those of you who celebrate on July 4th have a fantastic day?!?  And are you ready for another Challenge at the Outlawz?!  Today's theme is Picnic/BBQ.  I went with the Picnic so that I could once again use some of the fabulous ants from Nikki at Melonheadz Illustrations.  As I mentioned in a previous post, these little guys were freebies on Nikki's blog last summer.  They are still available for purchase as a set called Ants on Parade in her Etsy shop here.  I didn't get the chance to color them up last year, so I'm pleased to use them now.


I kept the card simple (seem to be creating CAS cards more frequently...might be developing a style, lol).

Since the card is CAS, in addition to this being a DT card for the Outlawz Friday's Alcohol Markers Challenge, I am entering it into the Without Words Challenge, July - Summer Picnic with the colors of strawberries, cream, and cucumbers.  And if you are confused about the Challenge, as I first was, because my card has "words" on it, here is their definition of acceptable cards:

CLEAN AND SIMPLE - OUR DEFINITION: A very simple layout with the absolute minimum of embellishments (or none at all), allowing the focus of the card to be a well coloured image. Sentiments are fine. 

Now back to the Outlawz Challenge!  Please join Carla, Dawn, Jen, Linda, and me in this week's Challenge!  This month's Challenge Sponsor is Bombshell Stamps

Thank you for visiting my blog, and have a marvelous weekend everyone!
