Last Friday, my daughter and I spent the afternoon creating cards the Cards For Kids Drive headed by Kristina, Jennifer and Jana. Not only did we spend time creating cards for a great cause but we bonded over girl time spent together doing something we love. It was one of those days that just stays with you. Perfect.
Here is one of the cards I made using lots of cute beachy stamps and embellishments. Still a bit addicted to the beachy stamps as you can see. ;)
I stamped a piece of white cardstock with the Modern Lines Wood Mounted Stamp using Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and added color with the Ranger Ink Blending Tool and Tumbled Glass and Stormy Sky Distress Inks.
I stamped the palm tree, crab and sunshine on Neenah Solar White cardstock and colored them in with the Copic Markers shown above, then cut them out and adhered them to the card as shown.
The "island" was created by punching a circle from white cardstock, stamping the Raindrop Design Block stamp with Wild Honey Distress Ink and adding Wild Honey and Vintage Photo Distress Inks with the Ink Blending Tool.
The "waves" were punched from Cerulean and Azure Layering paper and adhered along the bottom edge of the background piece. I tied a piece of red and white baker's twine around them for interest and color.
I used the circles foam adhesive behind the stamped greeting and the sunshine for dimension.
