I made this beachy card by first cutting an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of lost lagoon cardstock in half at 4 1/4 and scored at 5 1/2. I used a panel of thick basic white cardstock for the front and the inside. I then used my water painters to get the pretty sky, water and sand. I used boho blue, lost lagoon and pecan pie. I could not lot locate my bird stamps so I used a sharpie to just draw them in (not too shabby, but pretty easy), I used the colorful seasons stamp set for the cute little beach chairs and the little drinks next to them. I used a scrap of basic white that I stamped the just breathe onto and trimmed down then cut the banner end using snips.
For the inside white panel I stamped one of the adorable chairs and the sun, which came from I am almost positive it was the march paper pumpkin kit. I just love my paper pumpkins!! The sentiment Life is a Beautiful Thing was also in this set. I love the images in this set but the sentiments are so pretty. They are a great size and such a beautiful scripty style. I was worried my watercolor was not going to turn out at all but I was suprisingly pleased with how it looks. I love the beachy feel of this card. Makes we wish I was there. Can practically smell the saltwater from here.
I will be submitting this card to the following challenges:
