Best Friends at the Beach
I’m currently at the beach with my daughter and her almost 2 year old with no access to the internet and barely any cell phone signal; basically just out-of-touch!
While I’m away I thought I’d share this beachy card that I made several months ago. It was made using a previous sketch from Jen del Muro’s SFYTT series (seen here). I love the multi-overlapping panels she used. Thanks for the inspiration, Jen!
The image for this card is from My Favorite Things, called By the Seashore, and was stamped on kraft paper and colored with Copic markers. I used my white gel pen to color in the girl’s shirt. I stamped the white panel with one of the Itty Bitty Background stamps from SU – hoping that it would look a little like sand. Then I stamped the seagull on the pylons on white paper twice, colored it in and cut the entire image from one piece and just the seagull from the other.
I mounted all three of the panels on black cardstock, and then attached them all to the card, using mounting tape to raise the image panel up above the other layers. I attached the pylons and seagull image to the blue patterned paper using glue dots, with the second seagull image on top of that.
I made the sentiment label with my new little toy, a Dymo label buddy, and attached it to the bottom left of the card front. Lastly, I dotted across the bottom of the card with a black glaze pen.
Thanks for visiting! Please come back soon and enjoy your weekend!
