Thinking Of You
Hi there my crafty friends! Here's a slimline beach gals card to share with you today. I started today's card by inking a piece of white card with Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade Distress inks to get a sunny background. I inked in a sort of circular manner leaving the center section a bit lighter. I cut the Slimline Stitched Rectangles into a frame out of white card and added mounting foam to raise the frame. I added it over the background. I cut two palm trees in black from the Palm beach die set and added them coming in from the sides. I cut the Beach Bather with the striped suit and coloured her with markers. I cut the hat in red twice and cut the very center out with scissors then added it with mounting foam to the brim for a 3D look to it. I added some sand to the bottom of the card and seated her on it with a pair of flip flops and a tropical drink. I used the Thinking of You sentiment, cut in black and glued to the top inside of the frame. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 4 3/4" x 9" in size. All for now Sue x
Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, such a beautiful sunny beach card today, I noticed the little tiny flip flops at the bottom, you always design and create even the smallest dies for you cards, it makes such a difference, thank you.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good morning Sue, Another fabulous card with fabulous dies & as June says all the little details with your flip flops & drink really finish your cards off. Yvonne xx
A great post, wish I was there as not had a holiday in such a long time ☺️. As others have commented those tiny dies are the perfect finishing touch. Also love how this has been made as a DL card so again showing their versatility 😊

ReplyDeleteThe card makes the onlooker think that the bathing beauty is lost in thought; watching the world go by. WakeyL
ReplyDeleteThis card is perfect for the sentiment (with the interesting OF). She is on vacation but missing someone at home.
