I made a set of cards for a friend of mine who has done some very nice things for me recently. She's also the friend who owns the house at the beach that I rented earlier this year for a month. What a lovely time that was. I enjoyed it so much that I am booked for a repeat in 2014!
Anyway, she's helped me with a few other things and I wanted to make a few cards for her. She requested something beachy so this is what I came up with using the Hero Arts Let's Chill clear stamp set.
I used Salty Ocean distress ink to ink up some white cardstock, tore some paper for the "sand" and stamped the other items with Jenni Bowlin and Memento inks. I colored the palm fronds, coconuts and the little crab with Copics and added a bit of Crystal Stickles to the coconuts. The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn. The palm fronds were adhered with foam dimensionals. It came out purdy cute, I think, and my friend liked them so there you have it!
Lots of fussy cutting but it was fun!
We had a full day of rain today but the weather today was fantastic. So pretty!!! It was warm and sunny...I really am dreading colder weather. Give me 80s any day! ;)
Happy Crafting!
Too cute! I'm glad you're able to use this retreat!!
ReplyDeleteEspecially like the salty ocean inking & torn beach sand. If you had made these for me you would have had to use 'Sorry for being crabby' LOL sentiment since I was a crabby person awhile go & you know what about and I have apologized for it to the 2 people I upset which I probably did not tell you I had apologized. If you made 3 or more & photograph the set Hero Arts current challenge is for a trio of cards.
