Hope Your Day is Sunny & Bright

Hello crafters!  Here's a Beach Bathers card, but minus the Beach Bathers!  I started by using some Clear Texture Paste and mixing it with a little bit of Stormy Skies Enchanted Sparkles to get a consistency that looked like water.  I added it to a piece of white card and tried to make it look like waves with a thickness to it.  It needed to dry for a while so I left it overnight.  I used the Fine Postage Stamp dies and cut a white frame then added it with mounting foam.  I cut the beach chair and umbrella from the Beach Accessories die set and coloured them in yellow and white.  I added them to the in the corner of the frame.  I cut the large sun from the Palm Beach die set and to the side corner of the frame.  I used the Hope Your Day is Sunny & Bright sentiment cut in black and glued it to the inside middle of the frame.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4"  x  8 1/4"  in size. 

And now, time to announce the winner of the Beach Bathers Collection is............................. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................Theresa in Berks!!!

Congratulations!  Please email me at americansue1@gmail.com to confirm your postal address and claim your prize!  All for now, Sue x

  14. Oh Theresa I completely forgot to check our winner and I'm so happy for you. Shame the weather has changed for the time being but on the plus side if you're out making the most of our British sun then crafting is put aside so now its wet again and keeping you indoors you can craft and play until you're heart is full of wonderful designs. How exciting I'm so chuffed for you.
    Be happy.
    Be healthy.
