    An easy, fun beach getaway card, wonderful for birthday, spring break, summer vacation or just to send to a friend. A little masking, sponging & some die cut images and done! Change the greeging or colors to customize for a special occasion.

    A big congrats to Wanda, the newest Featured Stamper (FS891)! She has a really super gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout, sponged half rectangle & trees to the side. I used different images, dies, colors & made mine summer or spring break themed rather than Christmas. I also added a narrow black layer behind the main panel.

    My card is fairly easy. I used a rectangle mask to cover the outside edges & sponged the yellow & red inks inside, going from the bottom left corner up & in. I started w/ the yellow, then added the lightest pink, going to the darkest pink toward the inside left edge. The beach girl & bag were colored & die cut, the palm trees were colored & fussy cut. I also cut the small tree off & moved the trunk to the other side of the large tree for a better fit. The girl & trees were popped up just a bit.

    Here are the Copics I used:

  • Sun Girl

    a fun in the sun beach girl mini slimline card. easy to make w/ stencils & dies for this new Beach Girl set & dies.

    For the Inspiration Challenge (IC911), we’re visiting Lumas & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture for my inspiration.

    For my fun in the sun mini slimline card, I first stamped & colored the palm trees then I used a couple of stencils & a reverse circle mask to sponge in the sand, water & big yellow sun. I filled in the clouds using another stencil. The girl & beach bag were colored & die cut along w/ the beach chair.

    I added a narrow royal blue layer & stamped the greeting across the top. The girl  & bag were popped up a bit w/ foam.

    Here are the Copics I used:

  • Thank You Flowers


    A flower thank you card, stamped onto dk grey & colored w/ Prismacolor pencils & a white gel pen. Be sure to check my post for hints & colors used..
    A big congrats to Amber, the newest Featured Stamper (FS836)! She has a beautiful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & flower thank you theme, but used different images, dies & colors. Instead of using the white wash like she die, i used Prismacolor pencils on my flowers.

    For my card, I die cut the dk grey panel using the 2nd largest mini slimline die. By coincidence, it is just the right size for an A2 card. I used my Misti, both flowers & a pair of leaves from the stamp set along w/ the masks for the flowers (comes w/ the set), to stamp the images using gray flannel ink. Prismacolor pencils & a white Signo pen were used to color them. I die cut a pale grey & dusty pink panel to layer beside the dk grey.

    The single flower was stamped onto a piece of the pale grey & again, colored w/ Prismas & a white Signo. This flower was die cut & popped up on foam. For the greeting tag, I stamped it w/ versaclair & clear embossed it. I used the smallest tag to die cut it. Then I moved the die a couple of times..both up from the bottom & in from both sides to make a much smaller tag.

    Here are the Prismacolor pencils I used (listed on the pic in order from left to right). The pencils to the right of the white pencil are the ones I used on the single flower. The others were used on the flowers on the grey background. Those colors were too peachy to match when I colored in the single flower on the very light grey paper. Colors usually look totally different depending on what color you use for your background. For the bright white edges of the petals, I used the white gel pen & immediately softened it a bit w/ a water brush. The gel ink is pretty much water soluble (until it dries) & I wanted it to look a little softer & blend in more.
