As I continue into my beachy card time of the year, I got out my favorite beach goer dies for my card today. The Paper Players Challenge PP635 is all about pastel colors and I was making a card kit to share at a stamp gathering at a friend's house this week when I realized that this fits the PP35 challenge. I already submitted a card there this week, but here is number 2!
Spellbinders: Day at the Beach die set
The Greetery: Destination Summer stamp set (birds)
My Favorite Things: Life's a Beach stamp set (sentiment)
Various patterned paper
Pinkfresh Studio: Diagonal Stitched Rectangle dies
Distress oxide inks
Ink blending brushes
Versafine: Onyx Black ink pad
There are lots of little pieces to die cut and put together but it is actually a relaxing and fun process because they are so cute as they materialize! I ink blended the sand and sky first, then built the scene. It is fun to look for patterned papers (not that you have to use them at all) for the bathing suit, hat, towel, bag and flip flops. I also got to use my Target dollar spot beach hut/lifeguard stand prop for the first time. Lol!
See ya soon,
-Carol
