Happy Summer Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Fun in the Sun Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the digital stamp Surfer Emma.
First day of Summer was yesterday which inspired my card! This card came about because I just bought the Slimline Waves Die by Whimsy Stamps and couldn’t wait to play with it. I debated about a shaker card but decided that a scene using the waves as separators between the sand, water and sky would be fun.
I had this cool birthday paper in my stash that looks like waterdrops. Perfect for the fun colours of my image which I coloured with my Copic markers! I added a couple of “water drops” with my acrylic dew drops on some of the Bermuda Bay swirls around my stamp. For my sand and sky, I used a couple of embossing folders to add texture. Then I lightly brushed ink over the raised parts and edges to give those areas more dimension. Another fun accent was that the cloud and “sunshine” word were die cut from white felt to make them seem fluffy. Some shells from the dollar store add to my beachy theme.
