I'm still hanging on to summer and making beachy cards. When I saw that Time Out Challenges #245 is Colorful, I knew what I was going to make. I was definitely inspired by the bright, fun colors in their photo!
Most of this card was made using a stamp and die set from Concord and 9th from a class they gave early last spring. I added the Sending You Sunshine sentiment from SugarPea Designs and a postal die from The Greetery.
I had to create a postage stamp to fit the sentiment and space on my card, so I cut one of my smallish postal dies, then cut that one down more by placing the same die at the width I wanted my postage stamp to be.
I used washi tape to mask off things and make stripes as I don't have the stencils that go with the C & 9th sets. I popped up all of the postage stamps on foam tape for dimension except the large one used as a mat. I ink blended all of the postage stamps, again using washi tape to mask off the edges of each stamp to keep them white like a real stamp.
It was fun to make because I love all things nautical. I think it fits the "colorful" description for the challenge as well.
See you soon,
