It’s my turn to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge & I chose Caron’s Beach House as the site. It has sooo many wonderful beach decor items! And since it’s pretty close to summer, I thought it would be perfect. THIS was the item that inspired my card.
To make my beach clock, I die cut the circles & on the smaller one, stamped & colored the chair & umbrella. The sandals, seagull & sailboat were drawn in w/ a multiliner pen & the bg was colored in. I inked the woodgrain bg w/ London fog & stamped off once before stamping across the scene, then I used a gray Copic to accentuate the board lines. The die cut numbers & clock hands were added on top. For the greeting, I stamped part of it & die cut the beach part. I had to die cut a few different words from the set then cut & paste them together.
Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

Today’s Technique Challenge (TLC632), black magic tech, & the Clean & Simple (CAS423), April showers, were a great pair to combine.
After stamping the umbrella onto black (a Misti definitely helps w/ this..had to stamp it a number of times, before & after coloring), I used the Prismas to color it. Then I stamped the raindrops & part of the greeting. Had to stamp that a bunch of times to get it bright enough. Added the stitched flags & sequins & pretty much done.
Here’s a look at the inside.

Today’s Ways to Use It Challenge (WT605) is ways to use Umbrellas. It reminded me of this Wedding Shower card I made a while back & totally forgot to post!
I stamped the little love birds, greeting & umbrellas & colored them w/ Copics. I also did a third umbrella on a separate piece to cut out & pop up on top of the love birds. After dry embossing the panel, I thought it still looked a little empty in areas so I took out a black Micron pen & doodled the vines/flowers in the opposite corners then added a Candi dot to the upper left.
Here are the Copics I used.
