  • Sitting on the Beach

    Posted on by Julie 1 Comment


    Today’s Free For All Challenge (F4A278) asks us to use umbrellas, rain, rivers, etc. I went with the umbrella part, but mine is on the beach.

    If there’s a decent breeze, I’d like to be right there in that chair. We are having the worst heat wave here! And my hubby has been on crutches for a week..we had the back re-sodded, the sprinkler system wasn’t working right..Aye yi yi!! Between watering & waiting on him & driving him to Drs., I’ve been hopping around like a one legged flamenco dancer! I told hubs I could just amputate the foot & get him a peg cause we already have the parrot, lol. So far he’s not going for it.

    This card is all on one layer..I say one layer because there is only one. I never count the card itself. To me that’s a no layer. I started by stamping the chair, masking, then the umbrella, fence & palm tree. With the masks for all of these still in place, I sponged on the sand, sea & used a scallop edge mask to sponge the sky w/ clouds. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.

    The Clean & Simple Challenge (CAS325) on Splitcoast today asks us to use Wheels of some sort..so I chose a Pinwheel! I’ve had these cute little dies for a while but this is the first time I’ve used them. I also have a tutorial on how to make your own pinwheels if you don’t have dies. Pinwheel Tutorial.Dotty Pinwheel 06384
    So I die cut 6 small & 6 large pinwheel arms out of a blue/white double sided paper. I used a dot border stamp to add the blue polka dots on the white side. A fading dot border die was used down the left side then I backed it with the same paper & stamped a greeting and added the pinwheel.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    For the Clean & Simple Challenge (CAS322) today on Splitcoast, the challenge to make a card with a  cupcake on it.  I had this big grin piggie & a fun “Hey, Cupcake!” greeting. So as I’m putting my card together, I start thinking…I need a really little cupcake. What to do? I started looking at my punches, figuring I should be able to put something together.  The bottom of the cupcake is a little teacup punch. I cut off the handle & drew a few lines to make the cake part. The frosting part is a little cloud punch & I drew a few lines to look like frosting. I had a little candle punch, so that was handy. I think it’s just the right size!

    The Wordy Birthday greeting was stamped 3 times on the background & I added a narrow strip of black to the upper & lower edges then added my cupcake bearing pig on top. I used a black glaze pen to add the 3 black dots in the lower right corner. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.
