hello Sunshine

Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday! Hope you had a good weekend – it sure seemed to go by fast. It’s time for another fun challenge over at Stinkin’ Inkers and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for the Some Like It Hot challenge! We’d love to see you create a project related to Summer. I created a cute little beach scene which will probably end up in my ‘beach fiend’ friend Cindy’s hands, lol!

I stamped a sun in the sky, then added water with blue crinkle paper – and it looks like real water with ripples! Score! I created sand mounds with torn tan cardstock and then added stamped seashells, a bird and a crab. Super cute Paper Smooches stamp sets!

I stamped the sentiment on the inside panel and then embellished it with a leftover strip of the blue crinkle paper and layered the panel on tan cardstock.

And one more look… SO stinkin’ cute! Love, love, love!

Products used:
Cardstock/Paper: Stampin’ Up Whisper White cardstock, Darice Tan textured cardstock, The Paper Cut blue crinkle paper
Stamps: Paper Smooches Summer Lovin and Cosmos stamp sets
Ink: Studio 71 alcohol markers- E2, E16, R6, R18, Y9, Y11, YR15; Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Stampin’ Up Crushed Curry ink
Dies/Punches: Paper Smooches Summer Lovin die set
Accessories:  Tim Holtz stamp platform

I hope you’ve enjoyed this card and will link up a ‘Summer’ project with us this month! Thanks so much for stopping by today – we’ll see you next time! ;)

Scrappy hugs,

I'm definitely what one could consider a crafting junkie! I love making cards, 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, mini albums and gift bags), mixed media projects, altering items, as well as occasional beading and making jewelry! Fortunately, hubby is very supportive! Life is good! :D View all posts by Leslie
