Life's A Beach

The challenge for this week is to create a card or project that has a beach theme, something that you'd see at the beach or just uses colors that make you think "BEACH!"

SPONSOR:   Shirley's 2 Girls

PRIZE:          $10.00 Certificate for S2G goods!


Here is my DT creation for this week:




Whew! These challenges are giving me a workout! LOL!  It took much imagination to create a beach theme with the image I used for this card, which is courtesy of our lovely sponsor Shirley's 2 Girls, "Beautiful Afternoon."
This was one of those creations where I had to "let it come to me."  In other words,  I had no layout plan - Oh no!  For starters I coloured the image, then created the mount for the image using Spellbinders Label #8.  I used a cloud template to create the cloud background.  I used part of a bench from the Magnolia collection to create the "boardwalk," which I coloured with pencil and Ranger distress ink in Walnut Stain, and stamped a bit of grass around the "boardwalk".  For the sand I used both a sand stamp (can't remember who it is from) and Mud Puddles.  I also used Crystal Effects for the water, and the sun was just a circle punched from yellow card stock, then brushed with shimmerz paint & topped with 3 layers of Crystal Effects. The seagulls are by Jolee, as well as the seashells, of which I sponged on a little colour & glitzed up with shimmerz paint, Crystal Effects, and a clear Sakuka Gel Pen.

We at the Stamptacular Sunday Challege hope you'll join us this week.  Remember, THINK BEACH!

A Monochromatic Floral-Shabby Twisted Sketch with Wings!

Hah! Try saying that 10 times! LOL It was so hot outside today - 97 degrees.  Ugh!  I thought I'd jump in the pool to cool off, but even the pool was too hot!  Seriously, there is such a thing... So, I spent most of the day in the comfort of our air conditioned craft room.  Here is my hot summer day creation :   I love the theme for this card, "A Monochromatic Floral-Shabby Twisted Sketch with Wings!"  which is a combination of a few different challenges Here is the inside of the card, also a pop-up, although I was not able to get a better picture...  Look at the little butterflies dangling on the twine! All of the "designer paper" for this card is hand stamped by MOI - I so rarely ever use printed designer paper because I love, love creating my own! On this card I used "Fabulous Flourishes" by Tim Holtz, "Documentary" by Prima , which were stamped in Antique Linen Distress Ink and Stampin' Up! Soft Suede .  All of the flowers are a...
