A pelican hello

Hello! 

First, today is the last day to enter the CDBC7 for your chance at a nice goodie prize! Check it out HERE.

Tomorrow is the next Doodle Pantry release, we have releases on the 5th and the 20th, and so I wanted to share a sneaky look at one of the digital sets for tomorrow. It is called Pelican dreams. 

I read somewhere once, a time ago, that dreaming certain things about pelicans would mean certain insight into your near future.  Of course it is all superstition, but I liked one of them in particular and thought it would make a nice encouragement set.  One of those things is dreaming of catching a pelican, which is positive.  If you dream of catching one, it symbolizes that you will overcome some disappointing influences.  That is where the sentiment comes from in the set; I had decided to choose some different wording to make it flow a little better when reading it.

Here's the card I made below with a close up of the pelicans.  I overlapped the PNG images in my Word document.  I added the pelican on the dock into the document page first and then added the one standing on the piling secondly, and placed it overtop.

SUPPLIES:

• IMAGE: Pelican dreams by Doodle Pantry
• CS/PAPER: 90 lb. Canson watercolor paper, marina mist, crumb cake, soft suede, My minds eye DP Bella bella collection

I hope you'll be back tomorrow to see the rest of the newest releases!  I also will be announcing the random winner of the CDBC7 challenge!

See you then!

What a terrific set Laurie. Love those pelicans. They are so fun to watch diving for fish. I saw them when we were in Cambria, CA for our 20th anniversary 2 years ago. Love your coloring as always.
