Hello everyone! Betsy here today sharing this beach themed card in
celebration of summer! I'll be using products from
This was a fairly simple card to make using a stylized beach scene
for the background. Let me show you how I made my card!
First I composed my images in the computer and printed them out onto white
card stock. By grouping them together they become one image – easier to cut!
Next I chose my background paper. I liked the vibe of this more modern version
of the beach and water and thought it went well the simplicity of the images.
I fussy cut my focal image. I printed a sentiment on the background panel, made
a base from kraft card stock and another smaller panel to go behind the focal. On
the patterned paper I computer journaled my sentiment.
I took the aqua layer and used an embossing folder that was wavy. Doing that gave
the piece a little more interest.
I assembled the background pieces. I used a rectangle die for the main layer.
Next, with the background established and color palette chosen I started coloring
with my Copic markers.
I moved along – the images were easy to color. I kept my colors fairly bright
as I wanted them to stand out.
With my image colored I could now assemble my card! I used Stickles on the flower
on the hat, the lemon slice and the sun on the tanning lotion bottle. I used Glossy
Accents on the sunglasses and the ice cubes. Then I sprinkled some tiny metal sea
shells and starfish. I then popped the image up on foam tape.
This card project worked up quite quicky and encompasses everything we like about the
beach on a sunny day! You can find this digital stamp and so many more at
