Hope Your Day is Full of Sunshine
Hello bloggers! I cut a piece of white card and embossed it with the Tidal Sands embossing folder. Next, I inked a strip of white card with Sailboat Blue distress ink and lightly wiped the edge of a white pigment ink pad across it. I glued it to the bottom of the card. I hand cut a piece of milk card for the sand and glued it to the bottom of the blue strip. I cut the umbrella and beach towel from the Beach Accessories die set out of white and red card. I cut the segments on the umbrella and the towel out of the red card and glued it to the white die cuts. I cut the Beach Bather with the polka dotted swimsuit out of milk card. I coloured the swimsuit with markers and cut the hat from red card and added the centre of the hat with mounting foam to raise it. I say her on the beach towel and cut the beach bag and coloured it to go next to her. I added a sand castle too. I cut the plane in red and the banner in white and glued them together. I used a fine tipped black felt tipped pen to go over the debossed sentiment on the banner. I added the plane to the sky with a couple of white clouds. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x 7 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
