Cardz 4 Galz- CAS Card

This project is my contribution to the Cardz 4 Galz CAS challenge.  

 

Seaside/Coast (C4G Challenge)

I made this card for the Cardz 4 Galz design team.  The theme for today (6/11/26) is a seaside/coast project.  I used the oceanfront stamp set and the beach day stamp and die set (both stampin up, both retired).  I also used the hero arts unbelivably awesome stamp and die set (just for the details of the clouds and the water breaks).  I stamped the beautiful oceanfront design using my misti on an a2 panel that I then cut out using the wavy edge nesting dies (scrapbook.com).  The silhouette palm tree and the lovely shells were cut from the beach day dies the sentiment, that I just love is also from that bundle.  I used a tonic embossing pen to draw in the birds and used gina k black detail embossing powder.  I adhered the panel to an a2 top folding card made from neenah solar white 110 lb cardstock.                                                                                         

 

Hello Friend

I made this using Pinkfresh Studios Nested Hexagons- Blanket Stitch.  If you look behind the flowers you can just see the lovely stitch around the hexagon.  I also used the garden cosmos build a flower from altenew.  It turned out so much better than what I even had in my head, I love it so much its got to be one of my all time favorite cards and I know just the friend to give it to.

I am entering this project in the following challenges:
