Our challenge this month is Summer Fun and what's more fun then the beach. I have been looking at my paper this week trying to decide what I was going to do. I found this fun paper in my stash from Graphic 45 called Oceania. It's from the Tropical Travelogue collection. Now that I picked the paper it was time to decide what stencils to use I decided on the Sand Dollar (LS12), The Nautilus (LS 4) and the Sea Turtle (LM 179). I stencil the nautilus and the sand dollar onto Coordinations Color Core card stock (Harbor) with Stampin UP's Whisper White Pigment ink. When the ink was dry I ran the sea turtle stencil through my big shot to dry emboss it onto the paper, then I sanded with a sanding block, letting the core color show through. I layer it all together. Then I added 3 Aqua rhinestones and I used navy twine to tie on the little shovel and bucket charm. I'm hoping that while my boss is on vacation next week that maybe I can get in a little beach time. I hope everyone is having a great summer.
Don't forget to play along with our challenge, You could win a great new stencil.
Beautifully fun! And easy too! I like that combination when you need a quick card to share with a friend.
ReplyDeleteHaving played with the Travelog paper, I really, really like how you put this card together. Well done!
ReplyDeleteStop it, you're making me want to go to the beach (or at least the aquarium!).
ReplyDeleteThere's my California beach buddy! Love this...embossed sea creatures, my favorite color, and the great match of paper!
