Happiness Comes in Waves

It's feeling like summer more each day and I am not holding back on bringing it into my cardmaking. The Freshly Made Sketches #732 challenge gave me bird's eye view beach umbrellas and here is my card!

















What I used:

  • Waffle Flower Beach Umbrella die-n-stencil set, Postage Collage Beach Days stamp set
  • Altenew Obsidian Black ink pad
  • Pink and Main The Bright Side Glitter Enamel Shapes, Spring Glitter Enamel Shapes
  • Ranger Distress and Distress Oxide ink pads

I ink blended the waves rolling in from the west onto white sand beaches. After stenciling the umbrellas and die cutting them, I ran them across the side of my desk to make them rounded, then popped them up on foam tape on the beach. The sparkly enamel shapes are fun in the center of each umbrella top. I stamped the sentiment and was done!

Spring break must be winding down, but the beach is always there for the locals.

Happy spring into summer!
