Hope Your Day is Full of Sunshine

Hello crafters!  I started today's card by cutting a piece of white card.  I cut a piece of sticky adhesive sheet with an uneven top to it, then coated it with sand.  I used the Fine Postage Stamp Rectangles and cut three of them in white.  I sponged Sailboat Blue distress ink on the bottom part of all three of them.  Next I cut each of the Beach Bathers out of milk card.  I used markers to colour the swimsuits.  I cut matching hats for each of them using the die. I covered the hat part of it and cut each one twice out of the colours to match their swimsuits.  I hand cut around the brim of the hat and on the second cut, I hand cut just the centre of the hats.  I added mounting foam to the centres and added them to the larger brim.  I cut the small sun in yellow and glued it to the one on the right.  I cut the plane in blue then added the banner in white.  I used a fine tipped marker to trace the wording, then added it across the other two rectangles.  On the sand, I added the signpost, the sand castle, the beach bucket and shovel and a few seashells from the Beach Accessories die set.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  8"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, well it is a very apt card today with temperatures over 30degrees here in Chatham, Kent. I could just be sitting on a beach like the 3 ladies in the card enjoying the see and sand, but it would be too hot. a stunning creation Sue.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Fabulous post using a great collection, just wish I was there - haven’t had a holiday in such a long time, but then being on the Isle of Wight it’s always holiday time 😂

Fabulous card Sue, my day has certainly been full of sunshine. Hoping to get a little rain soon to get some relief from the heatwave here.
